Battles Within

In the quiet shadows, I stand alone

Feeling invisible, like I’m an unknown

A silent struggle, a war waging inside

Lost and scared in my own mind

Trying to find a place, where I can hide

Waking up is harder every day it seems

Drenched in sweat from the blood in my dreams,

Laying silent as my thoughts collide, and I question why

Do I even matter? Should I even try?

No one sees the battles that I fight

Scared of the darkness, Scared of the light

A whisper in my mind, is shouting out loud

You are empty, just lost in a crowd

This fight inside me, it never ends

A war I’m losing, but I still pretend

To hold on to hope, to find some way

To see the dawn of another day

Sometimes I wonder if I’ll break

Every breath is a risk I have to take

Trying to push through, trying to survive

But inside I struggle just to stay alive

No one sees the battles that I fight

Fear of the darkness, fear of the light

A whisper in my mind, is shouting out loud

We are empty, just lost in a crowd

This fight inside me, it never ends

A war I’m losing, but I still pretend

To hold on to hope, to find some way

To see the dawn of another day

Can’t you see me screaming behind this mask?

There’s a storm raging inside, that’s built to last

Every break, every tear, I try to hide

Is part of the fight I can’t deny

I keep fighting, step by step

Holding on, to every breath

Though it’s hard, I won’t fade away

Hoping to see the dawn of another day[x2]
