You vs you

You vs you

The days they get lonely
And nights can be long
Too much time with your thoughts
While trying to stay strong
The battle within
The endless sad song
That plays on a loop
With lyrics that are wrong
These words they do hurt
The gloom that it brings
The darkness it casts
Over the smallest of things
It's you vs you
As you battle your mind
The damaging thoughts
They are brutal and unkind
Your will is then tested
Your strength is on show
How do you keep fighting
As these thoughts they do grow
Being mentally tough
And willing to bare.
Your thoughts with your friends
The ones that do care
A shoulder to cry on
An ear to confide in
Will help you to overcome
Your battle within.
