A Poem by Lana
"

Poem about how it feels like to fight an inner struggle/mental illness everyday.

"
I'm confronted by the beauty of this world
But it means nothing to me
The light of the day is a mold
And the darkness keeps growing in me

I seem peaceful and bold
But the existence of evil keeps destroying me
I want to grow old
If ever I feel free

I built some walls
And hoped I could get a roof over me
Time tells me get a job
But my foundations ain't even finished
I'm my own job 
I wish for a democracy
But I live in fear
That I've already destroyed the only real part of me

My inner voice keeps fighting corruption
Self destruction means nothing to the nation
Except when houses half built
Give up on their foundation

I want to destroy the establishment in my head
But somehow a tornado destroys what I built with my own hands
And it's always the same
And it's a never ending game
That I plan to win
