The War Within Us

Stricken by signs of betrayal

A veiled perspective

Of ourselves

Concealed entity realms

Depicting deceit

As a means

Revealing self destruction's

Schemes at the helms

Of our souls casting call

Gavel judgments

Without an audition

Help staged a final act

Unveiling contrition

As the star in

The War Within Us

Gripping reality, that none of us a perfect. I can relate as I'm bipolar and battled myself for many years.

its never too late for repentance...I really like the theme and the movie industry references BP - it totally works for me.

A veiled perspective of ourselves--that's the essence of this poem to me. The disconnect between reality and the picture of ourselves we carry inside. Perceptive and intelligent!
