TW the fight within
The fight within
the deepest fight is the one within us all
darkness fighting angst the light
the positive angst the negative
we tell ourselves we ok
but this hidden fight within goes on and on
the darkness that holds the shame that holds the hate
all things negative we tell ourselves
lies that were told to us about us we hold onto and believe
then there the light within that tell us all the good things about us
within this fight goes on the lies ingest the truths
we try to seem ok to support others
we tell our selves that we ok that we deserved what happened to us
we hold onto the lies as if they was truth
but this all we know to do as it all we was taught from baby up
that we did things wrong and that why they hurt us
they say it was our fault that they did what they did to us
but is that the truth or only lies told to us to cover up the truth of it all
we still not sure what is truth what was our fault what was not our fault
scared for life but no-one can see the hidden scars
they with in us the fight between truth and lies always going on within us

Your words touch on the inner war so many of us face—the battle between the lies we’ve carried and the light trying to break through. It’s brave to name this struggle; recognizing those lies are learned, not truth, is the first step.
You’re not alone in this fight. The part of you that seeks the light? That’s your truth trying to shine. Be gentle with yourself—you don’t have to fight this alone. 🌿

Thanks for sharing. I can relate a lot to the thoughts and feelings you describe here.
It's OK.
Its OK to not be OK.
It's OK to need support instead of giving support.
And it is not greedy to take support.
I don't really know what to say. Except I hear you and you are OK. I've seen your posts and you are a good person. A sweet and kind person.
That internal battle is torturous. Miserable. But I found it was worth it. I fought for myself against the lies and I'm winning. Keeping fighting. You are worth it.
Hugs, or equivalent, if you prefer something else.
