Divided I Overcome

I am fighting the war of my life
No one told me this would be easy
I'm leaving everything I've become behind
The pile of nothing I've accomplished
The wasted time
It's not hard to face away
But it was what I had become

The feelings and thoughts I was before
They can come back, and I can feel them
Such a struggle to get them out
I've been mistreated and abused
An abusive relationship with myself
What part of me, hated the other so much?

Its time to take the high road
I am winning the battle for myself
The only casualty is the angry voice
The voice that is not me.

The hope I feel is overwhelming at times
My only weapon against my beast
I will overcome
Things have turned around
It's time to succeed
Time to look forward, instead of inward
This is the war I'm fighting
Please understand me..
