A Losing Battle

I'm fighting a losing battle
Against the me within
It's a battle I'm going to win
I'm going to crush the inner me

And as I do so,
I'm going to kill every
Inch of progress I've made
On this journey of life

As the me within lies
Dying, it's last breaths
Little gasps for mercy, for wisdom
My heart will officially crumble

Yes, I'm fighting a losing battle
Against the me within, the me holding
Me together, against the pain of the world
And it's a battle I'm going to win
A battle, a battle I really should lose.
