Battle Within

Standing still,
world rushes by.
Unable to move,
holding back tears.
Searching endlessly,
for answers within.
Head spinning,
unanswered questions fill my mind.

Reality in my mind,
sees truth.
Yet my heart unsure,
yearning for it.
Battle within,
between body and soul.
Building strength,
weakness preys upon it.
Internal light dims,
by shadows of the past.
Lack within,
In a cocoon of self-doubt.
Wings ready to fly,
and begin anew.
Soaring into blue skies of spring,
my soul craves.

Breaking the chains and cages,
that suffocate me.
Knowing God’s purpose for me,
yet frozen with fear.
Set me free,
from what holds me back.
Insecurities and lies,
battle between heart and mind.
