me against me

I've been sleepin my best hours away
for there are things in my head
I don't wanna face
makin shorter my nights
I got things in my head
I don't wanna fight
what's real are the red leaves
on my window sill
that I'd left alone for 3 long weeks
...and the lies I feel are in me
so tonight, I hope I get to sleep
...cuz I hear loud and clear the screams
and they're tellin me
"man this ain't gonna be
you're fast asleep
you best wake up
before I'm done"
ought I then, to begin my retreat?
the shit I fought, let that be?
let go to hell, that which I felt,
when after 3 long weeks, I saw her eyes
embrace me?
hell I'm anyway fast asleep
no no no
sleep never comes easy to me
I'm engulfed in a civil war
and it's me against me
maybe I'll learn to fight me
if I look hard
at the state in my country
I know I don't wanna stay fast asleep
I wanna save my red leaves
and I hope this love I feel
don't break me
but if I gotta hurt someone
let it be only me
for there are things in my head
I don't wanna face
makin shorter my nights
I got things in my head
I don't wanna fight
what's real are the red leaves
on my window sill
that I'd left alone for 3 long weeks
...and the lies I feel are in me

Not a good feeling my friend. I know it well. The outcome of an inner civil war is not pretty.
good luck brother.

YOU are the only one who can forgive yourself
that is if "me against me" is auto-biographical
"a broken prayer" was so succinctly accurate in describing MY life, it completely floored me that it wasn't your own pain
afw - it's still good

but I'm finding they look pretty in red
and hopefully there won't be no hurt - for no one : )
so maybe I oughtta quit whinin
thank you both
I gotta say, Present Tense is a song I hold very close to my heart...the closest I guess... but the wisdom in it... man forget about it... that's why he's Eddie... and I'm not: )
thank you for your words on a broken prayer, letting go... what I felt when I wrote that, I hope to God, stays true... I read it often, and for now it is... and she's well too mashallah/touchwood : ) so though it's quite the compliment that I floored you, that too was autobiographical
Mika, my good friend, I tend to sound like a negative piece of shit at times (excuse my Indian (and that's a joke, any Indian friends out there:)) but I'm doing ok as you'll see from my earlier response... indeed a beach vacation is always what a doctor should prescribe, (but they don't... do they: )) well, I'm doing the Euro Pearl Jam tour this June so I'll be surfin alright... : )
you stay well Mika
Now this is more like it ........ Pearl Jam tour, that will cure just about everything. Don't forget to tell me all about it. Take care always,
