For every day that comes here
and every day gone by
I think of days so long ago
and I feel the deepest sigh

I question all my motives
and the reasons too
wondering how different choices
might have saved me from you

you who lives inside me
guiding me to harms way
can I rid myself of you now
to be just me on this new day

the struggle with my inner self
goes on at it's own will
and only am I free of it
when my soul is very still.
