Battle in My Mind

I’ve danced with the devil, in the battle of my mind

Felt the sting beneath my feet, from those who thought I was blind

 

Tears of pain in blood soaked shame

Remain in the shadows of my own hidden blame

These crimson stains etched on my bones

Leave my soul cold with no one to hold

 

Redemption and grace my mind won’t adhere

Voices and nightmares are my poisoned spheres

Forgiveness a gift my heart won’t conceive

Shackled to thoughts you’d never believe

 

A prisoner of war I’ve longed to be free

To be touched by a love who sees me for ME.
