themes: anxiety, heartbreak, manipulation

when i was four years old

i waged a battle in my mind

tormented by the fury of unknown

grappling with answers never found

when i was ten years old

i waged a battle in my heart

deceived by the beauty of forever

circling around ideas that couldn't be

when i was sixteen years old

i waged a battle in my body

persuaded by the illusion of trust

lamenting over moments eternally lost

no matter what you cannot stop

the battle i wage on my soul
