Battleground

There's a battle going on in my mind,

Between the thoughts that are kind

And the ones that are unkind.

It's a constant fight,

With each side trying to win,

But I'm never quite sure

Which one will come out on top.

The thoughts that are unkind,

They are the ones that I fear,

For they're the ones that can do the most damage,

But the thoughts that are kind,

They give me hope and they give me strength,

And they remind me that I'm not alone.
