I wish I could control the way
I think
The way I repeatedly think
Of things I hate
Of things that bother me
Of things that make me feel unworthy
But I can't always control it
And I wish I understood
The ways to help myself
Somedays I feel invincible
Like I conquered an
Invisible force that
Holds me back
Other days I wake up
And I instantly want to
Return to sleep
To escape the demons
That torment me
This does not define me
I am not my struggles
Although sometimes
It feels like all that
Consumes me
I continue to fight
Day after day
To maintain control
Over my own thoughts
My inner demons.
