How To Win The War Within

Soldiers tell the tale

Of those who prevail,

As they down their ale,

Still decked in chain mail,

But now the air’s stale,

And the sky grows pale,

One strives not to fail

But to no avail,

Inhale,

Exhale,

He raises his ax

To cut through the fire,

He’s reached the climax,

He shan’t ever tire,

But then the attacks

Suddenly backfire,

The previous acts

Could never inspire,

Relax,

Respire,

Worse fights will begin

If he takes this route,

The battle within

Fills him with doubt,

He knows how to win,

He lets out a shout,

A warrior therein,

All fear is cast out,

Breathe in,

Breathe out,
