Battle in My Mind

Give me your ferocity; lend to me your strength.
Help me build a stronghold; come and save the day.
I'm weakened, but withstanding; and always will I plead,
As I win every battle right here on my knees.

I'm shaking in my armor; I tremble as I pray,
Do not let me fail; do not let me fall away.
I can see them coming, attacking from all sides,
Boasting as the victors of the fear which grips my mind.

Help me fight this battle, I cannot take them all.
I've never had an army bigger, yet never felt so small.
Please don't watch them slay me; I don't want to die,
A failure and a misery whose life was just a lie.
