English term or phrase: Fight your inner demons.
Hello,

I'm planning on a tattoo considering problems with uncontrolled anger. In some way it's supposed to be an reminder to always stay in control of yourself.

fight your inner demons.
pugna cum daemonibus intestinis tuis


Explanation:
Both Lactantius and Tertullian use 'daemones' of internal evil spirits; the latter also uses 'daemonium' in this sense, which in this construction would assume the ablative form 'daemoniis'. 'Pugnare' may be used transitively but is more often found with a preposition followed by an object in the appropriate case (most often 'cum', 'with' + the ablative or 'in', 'against' + the accusative) instead of a simple direct object in the accusative.
