Analysis of War



I'm fighting a war
But no one else can see
It's not against me nor anyone
The demons inside me
it's been lingering for years
i'm slowly losing grip to this day
I pray that nothing is wrong
Harder and harder each day
Waking up with nightmares
Waking up with nightmares
They won't to a sudden stop
slicing my skin is a voice of expression
