I am fighting an internal conflict
with my demons.
They shall not be seen,
for they are hidden with a smile.
The smile is not real,
and it does not last forever.
When I am left alone to fight my demons,
the smile fades, the tears flow,
the pain shows.
This internal war rages within me,
and I fear I am losing.
My demons are winning,
my fears are taking over.
There is a war in my mind,
my soul,
and my life.
There is a war within me,
and I can not fathom
how long the war will last.
