The silence brings a panic
It fills the empty space
To feed this paranoia
Trapped a mental cage
The rough & jagged edges
That line this feeble state
Prevent my hands from gripping
Oh, how they shake

This is a warzone

A hurricane of anger
The howling winds of rage
An ocean of confusion
The storm inside of me
Slowly losing control
Desperate for a glimpse of hope

This is a warzone

The seconds feel like hours
The minutes pass like days
Begin to count down from ten
& don't forget to

Breathe in tranquility
Breathe in serenity
Breathe in a sense of relief
Before it escapes

This is a warzone

But, I am fighting
I am fighting back
