Me vs Me & You vs You
Mirror mirror on the wall,
Who is to blame
for every time I fall?
Weather to addiction
Or simply life,
It has all caused strife
Guilt constantly churning
deep in my gut
Constantly stuck
in the same rut
Breaking loose of the chains
Then life's pain interrupts
Still I don't give up
Crawling, clawing
pressing forward
Head held down in shame
At times I thought it better
to claim I was insane
Was it the effect
of self-deception
Choosing all the
wrong directions
It all led me into
deep depression
Starving, thirsting
for love and affection
Believing in the fed dreams
Gave me a misconception
Of true reality
Thinking we were meant to be
Still not knowing
true self love for me
Followed by condemnation
I began to use
as supplication
To suppress the
Intense frustration
To the questions why me
and how
Unanswered questions to
unfairness in the world
With no answer
Follows no control
Thinking you can never
Let it go
At the point of acceptance
Giving up or sell your soul
Finally one sunrise
Dusk gone once more
A desire conceived in me
I could no longer ignore
Smoke cleared
Sun rays pierced
I begin to finally see
Out of the fog I walked
Limping aching
With bruised knees
A reminder when shoved down
I always healed, a survivor
Not yet meeting my fatality
I begin accepting
This is a disease
It brought self-seeking
For recovery
No matter age, color or
Individual history
We bleed out the same
Restitched up wounds
Never knowing what to do
Then I realized
Looking into the reflection
Of my teary eyes
It's been me vs me
Now it's time you see
It's you vs you
No human vessel
Can put a limit to what
Your soul is destined to do
