Inner-Self Warriors

               When I right the write thing                 I will understand and feel                      the comfort of                         Acceptance.            Sure Doubt will tempt with it's refute,               its wild kicks of Indifference.            Damn Sure Doubt to its miserable death,                knowing she will rise again.              Inner Mirror, ease the transition.             Convince Assuredness of my comfort.              Defy this encompassing Mediocrity.             Cease my battle with Never Satisfied.            Inner Mirror reflect my best intentions.                     Radiate positives.                Its OK, let Perfection sting.             That is the end item of Natural Ego.                  But work to hold the line.                     Teach Assuredness              to know Acceptance with finality.            We can never be great unless Someone                   says that we are, yet,                  we step closer when we                 become our own generals             in the great war inside ourselves.

Additional Notes:
Capitilized warriors (emotions) of inner self as if they are entities with proper names. I believe many people have stopped talking to themselves, their inner child. I believe 'he/she' is the most important person in our lives. The late Jerry Garcia once said something to the effect that 'no person should ever be lonely, we always have ourselves to talk to.' So with that, here is this.
