Journey

Journey Today I took a journey Didn't know what I would find I didn't venture far though I just went inside my mind To some it is intriguing To see just what I think I don't go in too far though I just stay on the brink Ideas are here a plenty Each one a flower all in bloom But, some are hard to capture And others need some room A garden full of promise Self censored, quite aloof Watered down and milky Because, you can not face the truth A bolt of liquid lightning Sometimes escapes to the air It gets past all the fences And lands, god knows where Thoughts that circle wildly Cross the line away from light Thoughts somehow unfocused That leave me screaming in the light The word pictures I paint now Are the ones you want to read The ones I leave inside me I don't know just where they lead Distractions all around me Squirrel!!!....there's one now I focus but it's hard to I can not explain how I hide away the anger Leave some thoughts alone to die I can't put them down on paper I wouldn't even try I listen to the voices I let some of them come out Others, I hide from Those are full of doubt My mind, it is a theater I'm the only one on stage Talk about a tough room A lion, lost inside it's cage I'm not saying it's crazy Because, deep down I know I'm fine But, I can see the journey into madness Is just one toe over the line Today, I took a journey And I seem to have a knack Of talking to the voices And letting them talk back
