Self Talk

Worst enemy was always me
Evaluating
Always criticizing
Hostile conditions by design
Fighting every word
Closing in on my mind
Smoke and ash
Lungs collapse
Breathing heavily I dance
With my irregular heartbeat
The shadows
From walls closing in
The battle’s just begun are you ready for it
Don’t panic
It’s desolate
But the battle’s just begun
Get ready for mental bloodshed
They watch me drown in self defense
Voices in my head
An anthem of the dead
Just walk the walk
Hold your head high
Battle every word
Boarding up your mind
The shadows
From walls closing in
The battle’s just begun are you ready for it
Don’t panic
It’s desolate
But the battle’s just begun
Get ready for mental bloodshed
Creeping heart palpitations anticipating the what if
Suffocating intimidation my mind drifts
Giving into the broken and all my weaknesses
Self Talk

Toxic
Walls of my mind boxing me in
My mind won’t let me win
No no no no no
The shadows
From walls closing in
The battle’s just begun are you ready for it
Don’t panic
It’s desolate
But the battle’s just begun
Get ready for mental bloodshed
