Fighting for your sanity

Fighting for your sanity

Reliving the wounds no one can see

When they do they want to talk,

Answers to questions, to try to understand

But you have no voice to answer with

No words no images

So it must be nothing much really

Just try harder, do this do that

Look we can do it what’s your problem

You have so much ability

So what’s your problem?

Why aren’t you trying?

When your problem is you try too much

You make it look easier than it is

You work so hard you don’t even realise

You’ve done it so long you think exhaustion is relaxed

Yes you have extraordinary abilities

What about the abilities you don’t have?

Yes you are strong and a survivor

But you have to know your limitations

Fighting hard for your sanity

When you don’t fit the boxes

When part of you dazzles so much

That it hides the other that needs so much

Fighting for your sanity

When you don’t know what’s happening

You can’t talk or explain

Fighting for your sanity

Reliving the wounds you yourself cannot see

Fighting for your sanity

Hanging on tight to reality

Fighting for your sanity

Fighting for your memory

Fighting the memories that make you hide

Fighting for the memories that were the cost

Fighting for your sanity

So you can recreate your sanity

Fighting for my sanity

So I can just BE
