An Ongoing Battle

It is a battle like no other
This battle you can't even see with the naked eye
In this battle, no human lives are taken
In this battle, not a drop of blood is shed
This battle is one on one, and only one will walk away
This is a battle within my own heart
It's a battle against what's inside and what others see
It's a war of personalities
On one side, is my real personality,
The one
That only I know
Me and only me
On the other side, is the one that everyone knows
Not the better half, even thought it's what
Everyone sees
When I cry, the tears come from the real me bleeding
When I smile, it's when the real me almost broke through
When I'm mad, it's when the real me is laying on the ground
Hurt
But the real me, never gives in
No matter what
Someday I'll break through my defenses
And shine
But until that glorious day, I will be fighting
An on-going battle
