"War Within"

 

There are moments...

And days...

When the mind catches itself...

Hung up upon the stumbles within the footsteps of life

Eyes search...

In an attempt to pin point the exact time of when and where

So thoughts wonder...

And questions ask...

Is it just one thing?

Or is it a collection of all things?

We are forced to dig deep within

To find reason in understanding

So we may be able to work through the path ahead

What is your hope?

Because it is so easily done to be stuck within your head

Battered and bruised from the war within

What is it that you wish to carry with you?

You can hate it...

But still fight it

If an ounce is all that you have, give it

There is strength in reaching out

And embrace the act of holding out hope

Shed the tears...

Feel the release...

Let go of the weight...

Find yourself here

Look up...

Because this is where you stand.
