The walls of flames enclosing us within this dusty circle
Keep us concealed from the lives we once knew.
A battle to defeat, we fight it internally,
Breaking away from the searing fear,
Escaping the prison of singeing hatred.
Our enemies the weapons we trusted daily,
Turning against us because we’re not trustworthy masters.
We’ve lost control of who we were.
Now, we’re stuck tasting the ashes of ourselves,
Inhaling the dust and seeing the embers rain down
In the inferno raging on within our cores.
A battle to defeat, we fight it internally,
Wounds and all.
We rise quicker than we fall.
We may be caged within a battlefield,
But this war won’t last for eternity.
We will defeat this battle either alone or together.
