Inner Enemy

A shadow lingers, cold and near,

It pulls me where the dark runs deep.

I face the silence, raw and still,

Each step I climb, against its will,

The weight of truth, too sharp to keep.

I fight the silence, I fight the dark,

No sword, no shield, only fire inside.

Each breath a rebellion, each step defiance,

This is the war I will not hide.

The past takes form, it breathes my name,

A haunting voice beneath my skin.

I push through walls that seem to breathe,

I won't surrender to what they weave,

Though their whispers scream within.

I fight the silence, I fight the dark,

No sword, no shield, only fire inside.

Each breath a rebellion, each step defiance,

This is the war I will not hide.

The scars I bear, they’re maps, not wounds,

Each one a tale of wars consumed.

The darkest nights, they test my name,

But I will rise, I’ll win this game.

Through shattered glass, I see the dawn,

Its light cuts through the darkest air.

I break the chains that held me bound,

The ground beneath no longer sounds,

Of silence or despair.

I fight the silence, I fight the dark,

No sword, no shield, only fire inside.

Each breath a rebellion, each step defiance,

This is the war I will not hide.

The shadows fade, but scars remain,

They mark the war, they hold the pain.

And yet I stand, a storm untamed,

The war within, forever claimed.
