I try to fight.
It feels like I’ve been fighting forever.
It wants to consume me.
It wants to devour me.
Within my heart,
Within my soul,
A fight rages;
Threatens to tear me apart.
The monster with my pride as its stole
A war for the ages.
It lurks within my mind,
This demon of anger,
This demon of hate.
It commands me to surrender.
Within my soul,
At the heart of my rage,
It laughs at my suffering in glee.
I fulfill my role
In my hearts cage
I long to be free.
I tire of this battle,
I’ve grown weary.
I don’t want to lay down my arms,
But I’m afraid some day I’ll have to.

Center Stage with Paul Stewart
*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
