Analysis of Drag me out of this battle



'Tis battle between mine heart and mind,
Swirling and twirling my world ;
Provoking my scars and wounds,
Dragging my dreams to shred
In an awful world of my thoughts

'Tis world of awful thoughts,
Trying to bend my courage
In front of these pathetic faults,
And ruthless grudge;
On the Altar of my heart.

This Altar breaks to save my courage,
 My soul tries to rebuild my alter,
But these awful thoughts turning my heart into sludge
Where all my dreams and courage drowned

Oh, these awful thoughts shedding my life
How can I stop thee?
Where can I drown thee?
My heart is losing to these dreadful realms
Is there anyone to save me?

"I'm here" the voice of my friend
Ruined the powers of my thoughts
"Let's play a game" renewed my alter
"You are not alone" dried this sludge
Hold my hand to drag me out of this battle
