I was in a rather iffy mood when I wrote this - took about 15 minutes--  \n  \nSome hate loneliness  \nSome crave it.  \nSome desire it.  \nSome require it.  \n  \nSome are never alone  \nSometimes, they keep sides of them hidden.  \nHidden sides?  \nLike dice, their face and their opposite make the same result,  \nBut one is always greater  \n  \nSix to One  \nFive to Two  \nFour to three  \n  \nNever equal  \n  \nNo one can equal their inner selves.  \nThey can surpass them  \nThey can be belittled by them  \nBut never equal.  \n  \nSo some people are at war with themselves  \nTheir stategies differ  \nSome rebel openly with themselves  \nSome lay back and accept defeat  \nOthers struggle to win...  \n  \nWars in the head can never finish  \nHow can one win against an opponent as skilled as themselves?  \nHow can one win against an opponent who can see your inner thoughts?  \nHow can one win...  \nHow can one win...  \nHow...  \n  \nThe answer is there  \nPlain as the skin on your hands.  \n  \nYou can never win.  \n  \nOnly survive...  \nWith the internal...  \nWith the eternal...  \nWith the pain.\n\n\u0026nbsp; Use whatever mental weapons you can,  \nTry to drive away the personal demons with our thoughts  \nNo one can succeed.  \nNo one has  \nNo one will  \n  \nNever alone...  \n  \n\n"}
