fight within me

Info

slippery as an eel

the tighter you hold me the faster I slip through

the closer you are to me the farther I move

the stronger you chain me the harder I fight back

the heavier you press me the lighter I see you

the charmer you act the more disillusioned I become

the more you expect from me the less you get

the lower you throw me the higher I climb

the less you value me the more I raise my status

the cowardly you think of me the braver I prove myself

but where to draw the line between you and me

you are me and I am you, as weirder as it sounds

it's not weird..I think everyone feels like this at least once
