Struggle
I struggle too much!
competing with myself and perplexed but it's all in my head, it's real much!
I'm enslaved in my own head fighting to break out but then I'm weaker😔
Tried to see if people could fish out the issue but I'm the enigma!
How does one fight with oneself? doesn't even make any sense
looked through the mirror but it's all beauty, strength and life in tense
Tensed by absolutely no one but her head.
oh! who's coming to my aid?

They say life is full of ups and downs
I'm too familiar with the downs
and I must confess it hasn't been so good
guess it's high time I took the ups in shape and be prude
going past the normal to make a change
thankfully we're now in a limitless age
persevering and excelling at what we wanna do
I should be my motivation even though I have no clue
Oh! am I not closer to my doom?

I should stay positive and envision the greater things that awaits
No more dragging me down and hopeless traits
I've had the baton and now ready to run
creating who I should be, past my fears and turn...
from the 'tense' but to peace and from the 'weaker' to power
Yes, overshadowing but motivating myself, the enigma!
