when i lost my own battle

September 18, 2009
By Anonymous

the days go by fast,
all i hear is the laugh,
drowning my last thought,
with every battle that i fought,
all the screaming that lays,
with just one last day,
to make things go back,
a virtue that i lack,
wishing it could of been different,
just trying to listen,
but i know something went wrong,
because i wasnt strong,
when i lost my own battle,
trying to make things better,
for all the wrong reasons,
as we go on seeing,
all the tears that it had brought me,
to the only one who could see,
that it was just me.
