The battle inside


Inside this shell it's a war behind the scenes
Feeling restless, Can't be still
Wishes of life outside this pain,
to be able to do what I will

Want to meet my beloved friends
have fun and do stuff
Where I am right now
just isn't enough

This kreeping darkness that I feel
Iv'e got to get out, I have to be free
as life running away from me
I know I'm missing so much to see

I need the soulkeeper close to me
So I could feel safe
But I know I have to face the fear
can't stay on this one place

I have to stop running
I have to do something fun and new
Can't sit here wait fo my life to be through

I wish I could say
off I go enjoy today

Inside our shell we are safe but to step outside leaves us vunerable to all and sundry,take what you have as what may be for in your hands could be ecstasy, well written and enjoyed.

"I need the soulkeeper close to me"
I like the term 'soulkeeper', unique!
Yeah, the etenal turmoil of, to be or not to be, always gnawing at your heart. Questioning disturbing.
((((hugs dear Malin)))))

Enjoy the not-enjoying..
or maybe you already did, cause look at what came out of it!
(..I enjoyed it.)

Oh yeah, the restless battle of the mind,
going on and on!
"But I know I have to face the fear" - I think that is a key-line...

(are there still people who enjoy their days??)

(selfish lot!)

kiddin... what can i say? i know the feelings you're talking about all too well (or, at least, my version...)

war behind the scenes, that first line would be better without "inside this shell" - that should be a given, and it sucks the power from your words, your slamming words "it's a war behind the scenes" and that's how i'd really like to see you start it. just advice, take it or take it to the curb!

sorry for being longwinded,
