Inner Soldier

Inner Soldier

A Poem by Riley Bray
"

Mindless "warrior," trekking on even after you've failed.

"
I'm a goner now
That I've lost to my inner soldier
No longer angel bound
I'm standing 'round, watching ashes smolder.

And In this world, this, wide, wide world,
I'm feeling it burning away,
And in this world, this, wide, wide world,
All I can tell, is its getting colder,
And In this world, in this wide, wide, wide, wide world,
Demons are getting their way

I'm a spirit now
That my monsters have taken over
My candle has gone out
And down comes tears of rain meant to sober.

And in this world, this wide, wide world,
I'm feeling it burning away,
And in this world, this wide, wide, world,
All I can tell, is its getting colder,
And in this world, this wide, wide, wide, wide world,
Demons are getting their way

So I'm running desperately,
From this war taking my everything,
Each footfall is nurturing my bleeding,
And I'm hoping not to slip anymore.
I'm vying for freedom, of anything at all
As I push off from battle calls,
And I'm wishing not to fall
To sinful allure.

And In this world, this wide, wide world,
I'm feeling it burning away,
And in this world, this wide, wide world,
All I can tell, is its getting colder,
And in this world, this wide, wide, wide, wide world,
Demons are getting their way

I'm just lost right now
Fallen into my minds murky haze
Absence is all around
And I realized yesterday we're living fakes.

And in this world, this endless world,
I'm sensing this torturous black veil,
And in this world this open world,
All I see is antisociality
And in this world, this endless, open world,
All our inner soldiers fail.
