Wounded Soldier

The walls are closing in
the ceiling is getting low
the war is inside my head
so there is no place to go.
I am my biggest hater
no one can put me down
so well am i sane or am i crazy?
Most days it's hard to tell
my demons won't let me be
They just won't cut me slack
it's hard to be okay when the
whole world's on your back.
But maybe someday the demons
will go away maybe someday i will
not cry you may see me struggle
but you will always see me try.
So take your best shot at me
I've ought through worse than you
i will keep on fighting no matter what
you say or do much like a wounded
soldier.
I've come too far to quit
there has to be something better
please God don't let this be it.
