Trapped

Battling voices in my heart
Screaming hearts in my head 
Shouting perfection 
Whispering defeat 
 
What once was forever 
Won't stand a chance today
Bitterness travels 
With the blood in my veins 
 
Choking nonsense 
Deadly silence 
Once and for all 
This foolishness 
Floats to the surface
 
Regretting a moment 
Forgetting a memory 
Peace quietning the voices 
Stopping beats of a heart 
 
Sighing from relief 
War cries in the distance 
This battle continues 
Until the beings are silenced 
Once and for all
