warzone

My mind is a warzone,

A battlefield for the conflicts that i face.

Never shall my mind be at peace.

For no treaty can end these wars.

These wars take place in all our minds.

To be a paragon,

A shining beacon for others to follow,

Or to rebel against the common good,

and serve only ourselves.

Some wars are fought for years,

some for seconds.

but the outcome of each and every one,

could change us,

For better... or worse

I like the analogy. The inner struggle is definitely a war and changes us all.

Good piece, it really does make sense. Sometimes we have to wage war with ourselves and make the right choices for ourselves no matter how difficult a battle it is going to be. Good writing!

Good poem. Interesting thought. I do believe there is a battle going on in our minds. I think the choices we face and the battle going on is more than what you state here. I see what you wrote about as being a reflection of a much deeper battle within our hearts.

Good write!

It is written that the greatest wars are fought in our minds with our defeated enemy. It’s an election where we have the deciding vote. Thank you for entering my contest.
