The Battle Within me

by Jacklyn   Oct 26, 2004


I never meant to hurt you,
I didn’t mean to do it,
It was all an accident,
But you still can’t find it in your heart to forgive me,
Emotionally I cut you, so deeply in your heart,
Emotionally I cut you, so meanly in the soul.

I can’t forgive myself,
Because you can’t seem to forgive me,
You can’t seem to let go,
So it still haunts the mind of me.

My heart seems to break down,
My mind blocks everyone out,
Everyone but the devil that speaks deep down inside of me,
As he chants repeatedly,
“Shut up, go home, you are all alone.”
But the angle cheers me on,
“He will forgive you, just give him some time.”

The battle’s inside me,
And in my everyday life,
They seem so big, as I drowned in my own mind,
The devil and angle always seem to fight,
As I sit in stillness trying to free my enslaved mind.
But it just seems to be engraved in my lonely mind.

Everyday I wake up the same,
Prepared for battle and what it may bring,
As the devil sings, laughs, and plays its little games,
The angle tries to reach my peace,
But it seems just to far out of reach,
Causing me to get mad as this war rages on.
I was trapped in a world of my very own.

Will the evil beat good?
Or the good beat evil?
Seems to me the devil is winning at his own little games,
Will the angle catch up and bring to me my peace?

I just wish someone would come and tame my pain.
I feel all alone, with brick walls around me,
As I break down in tears, falling to my knees,
Like I have done a million times before.
But this time as I sit I cry for help,
And for once the angle takes control,
I feel sudden relief,
Even deep within me,
I relax my eyes,
With peace now filling me,
The pain had been tamed,
The angle had finally won,
If only I had done this before,
I wouldn’t have been so all alone.

I’ll wait, for him to come around,
But I’ll live my life from this moment on,
Sooner or later, hopefully he’ll forgive,
But now I have my life to, it is no longer on hold.
I forgave myself,
Even though he hasn’t,
I said I was sorry,
So accept it or don’t,
So now I am finally freed,
Form the battle deep within me.

    *CLAPPING* Awesome job ~lil slam~ OMG i reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally LOVED that one! 5/5 Much better than mine! Yeah on 9/11 it wuz the same for me, too, i wuz in P.E. and the lights went out and all the teachers looked around like what bcuz in an emergency, they flicker the lights as a signal to let us go back to homeroom, and we went back and all they did was turn on the news, no explanation. I found out what was goin on when i got home and it was horrible....i had some family in there, u know firefighters and all but they got out thank god but it still breaks my heart to know so many others have had major losses and it's not right...well i hope u r doin ok as always! :) Luv Always and FOrever for U Gurl, Peace! //ari\\
