It is a bit odd
It is quite strange
The only rivalry I seem to have
Is the one going on inside my own brain

The hardest battle is in the deepest trenches of my mind
Memories become my present strategy
To defeat the past
I’m on a mission to save the future version of myself from the wrath

Self-help and therapy help me gear up for the battle with the present and past
If something doesn’t change soon
I fear my path will be full of destruction
My mental state nearing a monsoon
Can it be stopped or have I been through too much corruption

Gearing up to break down the pain
Looking at my own demons eye to eye
I will learn each by name
I will learn to understand the why
To defeat this version of me
To halt the calamity deep inside

I will no longer self-sabotage my future
I will fight for the woman in the mirror
I will strive for this life to become clearer
My rivalry isn’t with the world you see
My rivalry is with me
