My mind is a battlefield.

The two of me, fire and ice

duke it out everyday.

Every night.

Every hour.

Every minute.

Every second.

The intensity of each battle

Varies in waves.

But it never ends.

They fight blissfully in their own world,

Ignorant to the damage they’re causing to mine.

My brain burns.

My brain cools.

My brain ignites

My brain freezes

My soul disappears all together.

It reappears,

But in bits and pieces.

And then it’s gone again.

Now it’s back.

But for how long?

How long will I be able to

Keep myself at bay?

How long will I be able to keep myself

Above water?

I pray that this lasts.

Please, Allah, let this last

I think that is beautiful Bunny. I may need to start writing some stuff. I am still learning how to sit with my emotions rather than try to solve them. I am reminded of the book I like "Get out of your mind and into your life" by Steven Hayes. He talks about the war going on in our minds and explains that we don't actually have to take part, we can leave the battlefield. I hope to read some good stuff from you as you journey on. ☮️
