My skin so torn from the battle of life
I hide the scars that will never leave me
Determined to win the war from inside me
I dig as deep as I can to find the self I once knew
No words of comfort will take me where I need to go
Strength and determination are my only allies
I know I can get to where I need to be
Because I’m still here fighting for you
And now I must fight for me
I’ll catch you in the wind my friend
I’ll hear you when you call
For now I answer to the sweet whispers of my voices trapped
within the walls of my utter existence
There’s Life Within These Walls©
