It’s me against myself, a constant battle inside
Two sides of the same coin, both struggling to survive
One wants to be better, to grow and to thrive
The other holds back, afraid to take a dive
It’s a never-ending war, with no one else to blame
My own worst enemy, but also my only flame
Pushing and pulling, in a vicious tug of war
But deep down inside, I know what I’m fighting for
It’s me versus me, a fight I can’t escape
But I’ll keep on fighting, no matter my fate
For in the end, when the dust has all cleared
I’ll emerge victorious, with nothing to be feared
For it’s in this struggle, that I find my strength
And in this battle, I’ll go to any length
To become the best version, of who I can be
In this endless war, of me versus me.
