A Dark Mind
Hear the black wings of night
Across the moon their flight
The heart a lonely place
With darkness demons fight
Hidden corners of my mind
No refuge can I find
Voices in my ears accuse
Reaching out as if I'm blind
No one seems to hear me
From my cries they always flee
The raven's beak tears my flesh
With my death, one last plea
Hear the words I can not speak
I did not chose this path so bleak
My mind is not in my control
A bit of understanding is all I seek
