THE REAL BATTLE

 

the real pain resides not in the bones 

but the feeling when we are alone 

mind is nothing but a battle field 

a weight we all now wield  

the real battle resides mentally 

trying to stay sane arbitrarily 

a man is gotta do what a man is gotta do 

if you don’t, you’re a fool 

our mind is messed up 

mental health full like a cup 

potential struggles with thyself 

no victor no vanquish on oneself 

it comes to an abrupt end all of a sudden 

first, you’re convinced it is nothing 

slowly and subtly, depression creeps in 

 making you wage wars you might not win 

day and night, you are a different breed 

it all comes rushing, thoughts you don’t need 

you are left in dilemma 

only you swimming in a pool of dogma 

but the battle still lingers 

often times, you’d feel twitches in your finger 

your psyche bleeds 

and hope is all that you need
