Array ( [sid] => 56445 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Battle For My Mind [time] => 2004-07-16 19:17:34 [hometext] => [bodytext] => It's a battle in my mind,
contemplating,
debating,
such primeval parts of being,
such basic facts of life.

How to ease the pain inside...
How to find a place to hide...
How to find the part of me
that died.

How much pain can I cause,
until it gets its fill?
And how much pain can I feel,
until it makes me kill?

And the battle that rages
upon my scarred, charred skin,
works its way deeper,
fighting for the win.

How to ease the pain inside...
How to find a place to hide...
How to find the part of me
that died.

And the voices rage
in the grounds of my mind.
And it leaves me to beg
to keep it to me confined.

But it's just a battle, a battle of my mind..
Trying to find how to ease the pain inside...
Trying to find how to hide...
How to find the parts of me
that have died. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 13 [informant] => waos [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

It's a battle in my mind,
contemplating,
debating,
such primeval parts of being,
such basic facts of life.

How to ease the pain inside...
How to find a place to hide...
How to find the part of me
that died.

How much pain can I cause,
until it gets its fill?
And how much pain can I feel,
until it makes me kill?

And the battle that rages
upon my scarred, charred skin,
works its way deeper,
fighting for the win.

How to ease the pain inside...
How to find a place to hide...
How to find the part of me
that died.

And the voices rage
in the grounds of my mind.
And it leaves me to beg
to keep it to me confined.

But it's just a battle, a battle of my mind..
Trying to find how to ease the pain inside...
Trying to find how to hide...
How to find the parts of me
that have died.

very good Kara I hope you find something that can ease your pain inside. Maybe writing is that 'something'.
