This battle is not fought on foreign land
Or in the endless sky
Or the bottomless sea
It is fought deep within me
In my mind and in my soul
Of this war
I am the Prisoner
Keeping myself hostage
Dangling my life before me
Daring myself
Pushing myself
I fight for my freedom
To be not afraid
But I have locked myself inside
In a cage of rage and self hate
Beat myself blue, broken, and bleeding
To shape and mold myslef
Into the girl that you perceive
I lead you to believe my lies
As I slowly die inside
I smile and act fake
To keep the hurt
And the pain away
To avoid my problems that do consume
And ultimately mean my doom
I've bombarded myself with bullet wounds
And sliced away my soul
Laft myself in pieces
Shattered on the floor
I've fought my hardest battle
My greatest enemy
My deep and dormant self
