I journey to the mountain To face the war I waged My thoughts are filled with victory But inside I’m afraid To face what I have longed to face To face what is unknown Forward I shall continue Until what is unknown is known Surrounded by the enemy unexpectedly I try to draw my sword But it isn’t next to me And I am also standing alone I am alone once again It feels like cement is on my feet I close my eyes and count to ten Yet when I open my eyes I cannot see A casulaty of this battle field I shall someday be Surrounded by all my fears I know I shall face defeat Heart pounding Skin sweating Eyes open but I can’t see I am fighting my own demons That reside in me My thoughts are taking me everywhere But the truth I can’t escape And soon I find myself standing In another unfamiliar place In the sea I so stand With a rage that can’t be tamed Surrounded by an endless sea But my hands are covered in flames So much power I have within Yet I am unable to use I feel like I have not the time to spend On battling my dark inner truths But running serves no purpose For the enemy gets stronger with my retreat I have to one day face my fears I have to overcome obstacles put in place by me I journey to the mountain To face the war that inside I waged My thoughts are filled with victory But inside I’m afraid I have to face the truth inside I have to come to terms with what’s within I am fighting a battle with my fears And today I plan to win
