Deep Battles

A battle cries

a familiar tune

deep inside my spirit

it’s gut wrenching to hear

it sucks all my passions

and all my desires

right out of my air

I gasp for deeper breathing

but I feel like I am drowning

deeper and deeper I sink

deeper and deeper I cry

this battle feels like a war

ripping out my insides

and you can't tell from just looking at me

but somewhere deep within

my body is floating lifeless

from a battle I did not win
