Wrestling With Myself ***

Wrestling With Myself

I find myself
Fighting myself
And it's rare when
I've got the win
Because in almost
Every match I'm in
I'm almost always pinned

My back is pressed
Against the canvas
My opponent struggles hard
To etch his name
In history
By leaving me scarred

I fight back
Dig down deep
Sink within my soul
But the old me
Seems to be stronger
And has the greater pull

Why am I
Fighting against my past?
He and I are one
We should work
Towards the future
To accomplish
What must be done

So I'm stepping
Off the mat this time
It's time we act as one
Accept who we are
And what we've done

It's time we act as one.
