I never felt at peace
And now my world is standing stillĀ
The war used to consumeĀ
But now no voids call me to fillĀ
I used to never sleep
Now nights bring dark against my will
I never feel too weary
Now that the calm seeks all my thrill

Defense Mechanisms
You often raise your voice
As if you are raising a gun
But while some holster a weapon
With the intent to kill
I see your loaded words
As merely an emotional shield
Used frequently and deliberately
With the intent to protect your ego
