I keep my struggle inside



I keep my struggle inside 
and do my best to live in normalcy 
The problem is when the battle spills over, 
when I can't contain the fight 
I become a source of frustration, 
a casualty, a burden.  

Would I be better to lay bare the Titans' War;
to let everyone see 
the paralyzing turmoil inside;
to act out the constant battle
that dogs my every thought?
Should I collapse to the ground 
instead of gripping my fist tighter? 
Should I translate thought to speech 
instead of fidgeting with my fingers? 
Should I cry out in desperation "I'm losing" 
instead of saying "I'm alright?" 

No
Nothing would be gained
and I would become an even greater burden. 
I will stay silent with my war
and perhaps one day
I can relate how Olympus was assailed
and victory was won.
