Inner Strife Poem by Jacob Courtney

I feel you. I hear you. I know you are there. I must escape you. I need to run far away from you. Yet you always are waiting on my no matter where or how far one runs. It seems that you know my thought, my plans, and my dreams. You turn my thoughts against me. You turn my plans into failures. You turn my dreams into nightmares. You trap me within my mind. You control my every move and yet I never surrenderd to you. Must you destroy me. Will it please you or will it give you peace. If it does no matter which one please do it. I no longer want to be haunted. I no longer want to be control by the likes of you. I no longer want these nightmares nor these failures on my hands. I no longer want all I ever known to be used to betray the ones I care for. How long must it go on? What must I do to have peace? You are no longer wanted here. You are no longer needed here. No matter which way you decide for one must fall so the other may live. One way or another the fight has come to an end within. For I am Free. Peace will finally be achieved within. I will not let you decide for I will succed where you failed. I will no longer let you turn my thoughts against me. I will no longer let you destroy my plans nor will I allow you to turn my dreams into nightmares. It has come to an end just as you have.
