The Fight Within
You see my face,
not my heart.
I can't erase,
I fall apart.
You see my smile,
not my tears.
They're hidden a while,
not taunted by fears.
You know my present,
not my past.
Now full of resent,
I'm breaking fast.
You see my scars,
not my pain.
The future seems far,
with nothing to gain.
Easy to ask,
hard to prove.
Behind a mask,
afraid to move.
Broken and bruised,
falls another tear.
Mislead and confused,
trapped by fear.
I cry, I fight, I cry.
I fight, I fall, I fight again.
I will hold on, I will not die.
I will win, this fight within.
