internal battles are the hardest to fight
they pull at my heart and play with my emotions
the fight makes me weak in the knees and dizzy in the head
the feelings moving through my body are stubborn
they whisper to stay in bed all day
and i can't shake that off
those feelings
amplify bitter songs
are mute to freckles of sunshine
pick at my nail polish
i don't feel capable to put one foot in front of the other
but somewhere deep within me i know i can
once i start moving i won't stop
i'll put it all aside
and i'll tell those feelings to get out of my way
and so i move forward fighting the urge
to stay in bed
the initial first few steps are the battle
but once that's won
the rest falls into place.
