we don't have to fight

There it is again just under the skin
out of reach under nerves that won't listen
its trying to get me to let it free
prompting me to dig it out
I wish it would learn I don't need to cause the scars
It doesn't need to burst my seams
I have changed and grown I don't hold it prisoner
I beg you to stop your fight we are on the same side now
but there you are again
the light of my soul
pushing from the inside
making me itch
