War in My Head

image

There is a war you fight, All alone; Late at night, When no one’s home. You toss and turn, Upon your bed; As the remembered trauma, Burns through your head. You sweat and shake, And beg and plead; Please take this from me, This I do not need! You do your best, To go back to sleep; But instead, All you do is weep. The battle you wage, Inside your mind, Is one you’ve fought, For such a long time. I hope you win the war, That plays in your head; And find some peace, And quiet instead.
