The Silent Battlefield

It is not simple or concrete
Neat or even nice
It is what happens behind the scenes
The invisible, silent fight
It exists solely in the mind
The suffering no one else can see
Did anyone warn you?
No one said anything to me

It is the call of The Silent Battlefield
Wounds that afflict and run deep
When no one is watching
Why is it so hard to just be?

Honest and obscure
Drowning in uncertainty
Someone please point me in the right direction
I am searching for my inner peace
The overwhelming omnipresence
I wish I could be set free
Did you hear about The Silent Battlefield?
I wish someone had said something to me

Hurdling over obstacles
Challenges that never cease
Dragons who breathe fire
A land that likes to tease
Lost in a world I cannot escape
So many Kings and Queens to appease
Can someone please find me a map
I need a quick exit strategy

Rediscovering my magic
The person I once was
There is no easy way through
Enter the heart of the storm
Conquer and slay my demons
Face each one, one by one
Reignite the passionate fire
Remember who I was born to become

There will be no congratulations
No handshakes, no high fives
No one who understands
Now I live to thrive
No ceremony
Rewards or acknowledgements
Saving myself from The Silent Battlefield
Will be my greatest victory yet

It is the call of The Silent Battlefield
A place we all know but cannot see
Where grace and forgiveness manifest
It is as real as you and me
