Therapy

When your body is maimed
and your ego too,
your mind is your army.
Standing strong, weapons drawn,
"I'll harm you if you harm me."

When they try, they fail
the winner is you,
yet you feel the bruise.
For head down, far away,
is the one man you did lose.

It is then that you doubt
the worth of your battle,
the sweetness of your victory.
When you try, you fail
for you cannot change history.
