The Battle Within Poem by Pritisha Sardesai

Sleepless nights
dreadful dreams,
are haunting me.

The mysterious sounds
of the night,
are frightening me.

Panic and rage,
Runs through my body.

Day after day,
I fight of the urges.

A battle rages
Deep within my soul,
It's all I can do to hold on.

Prayer is my weapon,
faith gives me peace of mind.

Depression knocks me down,
grace picks me back up.

I pray and pray
For the fight to end,
But I know the battle is still within.
