The War Within

There is a war that wages on,
A battle down within,
Two nature's fight to gain control,
And to the victory win,

The first opponent was here first,
It was born in control,
It's full of pride and nature's flaws,
And it wants to retain its role,

The other is what you should be,
It's the nature that you should show,
It's love, it's peace, it does what's right,
If you feed it, it will grow,

It is so easy when life gets tough,
To let the wrong nature win,
Through times of hurt and times of pain,
There's a chance to be more than you've been,

True strength will show in what you do,
When someone treats you wrong,
Will you forgive, forget, and love them back,
Are you weak or are you strong,

You are born to be more than you are,
Don't settle in that selfish state,
It's not too late to change your course,
Ahead a better man awaits.
