Dancing in the fire
Beneath this calm masquerade,
there is a silent war waging,
and the battles are raging endlessly,
resembling the end of days,
like an impending Armageddon,
inside my head, my heart, my soul.

I have fought, I have fought hard,
and I'm fighting, and I will keep on fighting.
But if the enemy overcomes me,
if the voices inside my head emerge victorious,
if my demons win, and I'm defeated,
even though I have so much more I want to do
for the ones who love me.

I'm sorry, I have lost.
I'd like you all to know that I fought,
I fought fiercely,
I did my best,
I tried, I tried, I tried.
