A BATTLE WITHIN! POEM

A battle rages within me,

I think I’m goin’ to explode.

The rumbling, tumbling,

Growling, and howling are sounds

That my stomach makes.

A battle within me rages!

A battle rages within me,

I think I’m goin’ to explode.

Many visits to John did I make,

Not once did he complain.

A battle rages within me,

I think I’m goin’ explode.

Will this awful sound ever stop?

How will I ever make it to the top?

Start, stop, start-stop, all day long.

Will this battle that rages within me

Ever stop?

Silence will not last very long,

A battle rages within me,

I think I’m going to explode

John said on my last trip.

Will this last very long?

The battle that rages within me

It has lasted all day long!
