Civil War

Everything is just a struggle
Nothing can go quite right
I haven't found a way to get by
Without always being in a fight
The persons within myself
Are constantly locked in war
Rationality speaks sternly
But a bit is still persuasive more
It has brought me to do
Some less than wise things
Still day after day
I hear as the bell rings
The parts of my soul
Begin their next round
A way to my inner peace
Has yet to be found

Lying

I don't like to lie
But sometimes I must
I find myself lying
When it seems less unjust
I know I must wait
I know that I must be smart
I'm doing what I can
But I don't have the heart
To get through this time
Alone

Powerful Secrets

The things I don't say are the source of my power
The secrets I hold are the key
All those tidbits that you have already known are true
But there is still a bit more to me
Soon I will give up all of my powerful secrets
Becoming fragile and frail
I must because power is a hard thing to carry
Holding it forever would fail

I have not been a perfect gentleman
And I have surely made mistakes
I have been through a hard time
And I have not acted as myself

But what I have been is unimportant
The key is who I shall be
All I want of myself now
Is to truly be me
Having set my sights on this goal
I know what I must say
I must say what I truly mean
That I am very much okay

Pokemon Gold

I remember playing Pokemon Gold as a kid
Grand times were had
I caught lots of Pokemon
Beat the Elite Four
Stormed through Kanto
I have so many lovely memories
But eventually the battery died
And all I had was lost
It took me a while
But eventually I put in a new battery
For when you lose all you had
All you can do is start again
The Pokemon I had will never return
And the ones I have now will not stay forever
But I will always reboot and start again
Memories I will hold dearly to my heart
Even if sometimes you're forced to restart

I Never Thought I'd See a Day

When it is better to not see your face
When it is better to not think of you
When you would make me sad
When you would make me hurt
When I would fear a simple walk
When I would fear at dinner
When leaving a room would be so hard
When leaving would be so easy

A Dreaded Day

I remember what I thought today would be like
But I sit here knowing I was wrong
I'm a little bit afraid to walk outside and face the sunlight
All I know is today will be far too long
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with myself
But I pick myself up and carry on
I know it doesn't matter how hard today will be
For I only need to make it to tomorrow's dawn
