Not my battle anymore

 

It’s not my battle anymore.

Maybe it was never my battle to begin with.

Because you fight for power

or just because you want 

to let your demons out.

And my power doesn’t reside in

changing people, patterns or lives.

As much as I’d sometimes wish.

My power doesn’t reside in trying

to grow trees in a barren land

pretending there is still light

after the sun has imploded and burnt.

My power doesn’t reside in 

clinging on to memories

or trying to turn back time.

My power resides in stepping ahead

accepting what’s gone 

and letting myself go ahead,

while keeping my demons within.
