Win The War Of Life

"the truth lies within"

By InstinctsPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Silence is so loud when you want the answer.

Guidance is too proud when you are the dancer.

Dancing all around while the truth lies within.

Entranced with the sound of the avoided sin.

All the lies you tell yourself to get though the day.

Are big built up stories of what you'd rather say.

You'd rather be the hero and hold tight the glory.

But what if not yet is that your real story.

Could your story matter if it is not what you want?

Or must you hide behind reasons of all you felt did taunt?

Taunted by the sorrow of your forgotten pain.

You are echoed by the torture of the dragons never slayed.

These dragons are yours and only yours alone.

You can face them or have a heart of stone.

If never faced, these dragons rule your soul.

Corrupting all your joy, they take a heavy toll.

But battles lost, do not declare the war.

They only define the moment and perhaps a little more.

We define ourselves by the long road we endure.

Battles will be lost and so to our pride.

But we can win the war of life, if in ourselves we confide.
