CIVIL WAR WITHIN
If We Allow The Roof
To Be Blown Off Of Our Psyche
By The Belligerent Bullies
Who Wish To Wash Our Brains
With The Detergent Of Self-Doubt
We Will Inevitably Experience
Constant Confusion And Conflicts
As We Attempt To Save Our Sanity

We Are All Engaged
In An Inner Struggle
To Find Our Own Sanctuary
Where We Can Shield Ourselves
From The Civil Wars Within Our Souls

Whenever The Artillery And Rockets Of Insecurity
Slam Against Our Self-Confidence
We Ask Our Consoling Spirit
For Safety And Sound Shelter

Each Time Our Introspective Outlook
Become Dark And Blackened
By The Intensive Smoke
From The Burning Of Our Beliefs
We Are Unable To See Ourselves Clearly
Beyond Our Feelings Of Failure

Our Faith And Hope
That We Will Be Miraculously Spared
From The Onslaught Of Negative Influences
Are Often Singed And Shattered
By Flaming Shots From Friendly Fire

Every Aspect Of Our Lives
Has Become Fully Exposed
To The Daily Shelling Of Our Senses
And We Are Besieged And Bombed
By The Missiles And Mortars
Targeting Our Sense Of Self

Despite These Unconscionable Attacks
On Our Intellectual And Spiritual Existence
By Both Our Enemies And Allies
Defeat Will Never Become
A Permanent Park Of Our Plans
Nor Will The Forces Of Fear
Find A Safe Haven To Hide
Inside Of Our Mental And Spiritual Selves
