The Enemy and The Silent Warrior

A Tale of Schizophrenia

By Asher FenixPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Every days a struggle,

I fight to hold me own;

The battles that I go through,

Most of them unknown.

I wish that I could share them,

To let it all come out;

But it’s a little overwhelming,

Causing people to scream and shout.

So I must be the silent warrior,

Who is fighting to hold on;

Wondering if anyone will miss him,

The day he’s dead and gone.

I keep it all together,

With a smile on my face;

But it’s a losing battle,

I don’t have a leg in this race.

I feel like I’m unwanted,

My head so full of lies;

Like no one really wants me,

It seeks to hold me captive,

As it turns my guilt to shame.

Surrounded by the enemy,

I struggle to just break free;

But in the shares I’m captured,

What will be will be.

I’m taken to the camp they have,

It’s hidden in my mind;

They know that i keep searching,

For the thing that I can’t find.

And so the silent warrior,

Begins his torture anew;

Hoping against hope,

He survives to just see you.

And so the torture goes on,

Laying into the night;

It’s getting harder to find,

A reason for which to fight.

But I won’t give up that easy,

For I know just how the torture will be;

I know gore I can beat him,

For my I know my enemy is my…
