Everlasting struggle

me and my struggle against my biggest enemy: me. Or otherwise known as my insecurities

My sanity was lost

Somewhere along this road

I’m not sure where I dropped it

Or if I had it to begin with

For years I was blind

In my sheltered little bubble

Oblivious the monster

Who was slowly taking over

She left me for awhile

When ignorance was bliss

But she came out

When things got rough

On the outside

Desperately wanting in

I wrestled with the monster

Struggling for control

The fight raged for years

Until the last battle I had won

I thought the war was over

But my naivety was my downfall

She crept on me slowly*

Pouncing when I was down

How unfair she fights

But she had taken control once more

And I let her

She became all I thought about

I could never forget

That she was ever so present

But one day

I decided the tyrannical beast

Was to be no more

Strength and sheer will

Drove her from my mind

Which she had tried to poison

With her evil ways

I know she still lurks

In the shadows of my doubts

And I know there will be a time

When she will make a return

But I will be ready

My walls will be up

I will never be blindsided again

And even if her terror

Reigns once more

Hope is never lost

A ray of light still shines

Even in the darkest of moments
