When the mind wages war on it's own
Tearing away with no mercy within
Overpowering thoughts
wrench,
           creep,
                   crawl,
Twist and turn through the heart
Ever the victim
Chaos ensues
To lie down wounded and bleeding
Peculiar because with pain
the war is not over
With pain, though
The war is not lost

Overwhelming because
It's unexplainable to touch
Listening patiently
And the same thoughts
Once brought such joy
The ember now burns dimly

But the heart continues it's beat
Though wounded, still alive
Though drowning, resuscitated
Stand strong, keep going!
This is what was told
The belief, the faith.
Unquestioned, sheer strength in wisdom
What is known
What will be
Forever
Now, speak with power!
Feel with passion!

Remain listening.
What You know.
You know nothing
