The Enemy Inside

Over and over again, I relive the moment I'm bearing the burden within Open wounds hidden under my skin Pain is real as a cut that bleeds The face I see every time I try to sleep Staring at me crying I'm running from the enemy inside Looking for the life I left behind These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind and I can't escape from the enemy inside I sever myself from the world and shut down completely All alone in my own living hell Overcome with irrational fear Under the weight of the world on my chest I buckle and break as I try to catch my breath Tell me I'm not dying I'm a burden, I’m a travesty I'm a prisoner of regret Between the flashbacks and the violent dreams, I am hanging on the edge Disaster lurks around the bend Paradise came to an end And no magic pill can bring it back again.
