Every moment of life Carries a flame within That lights up Or fades away Depending on what you do If I surround myself with what drains me The spark dies out Because what dims my light is not the world But what I allow in from it But if I take care of what I think What I feel And what I give The flame turns into fire And that fire Is what makes you feel alive What makes you feel Over time, you discover that The real enemy Was never out there That doubts arise When the ego feels fragile That the voice that hurts the most Is my own, when I betray myself And that comparing myself to others Is another way of forgetting who I am That is how you understand That no one wins a war Against themselves
