Brooding

In the darkness I see myself too clearly,

yet I am blind and lost.

Can't quite figure out what I'm doing,

or what I want,

I'm only scaring myself in the dark.

 

I wish I could run away from my thoughts,

free myself from my mind and fly through peace.

 

There is a war in my mind,

neither side is right. Or wrong.

Only interested in hurting the other;

I'm hurting myself.

 

Help! as I drift through space, lost in the black,

scared with the unknown of lost opportunities

that may have never existed.

 

I need to be freed.

 

2009
