The War Inside

We’ve all fought wars inside our heart

Unsure of what to do or where to start

We’ve all fought wars and deeply lost

Losing things of important cost 

The grades we’ve failed, the nights we’ve wept,

The promises we swore but never kept.

Regret and doubt, they cloud our mind,

A peace we seek, yet never find

We battle fear, we fight our pride

We hide the pain we keep inside

But though in this war, rage may burn

There is still much for us to learn 

For strength is found in lessons past,

And wounds can heal, though scars may last 

You'll win the war you fight inside 

With faith and hope as your guide
