Becoming Aware

Oh, thy words torment my Brain,
And fill my Mind with foul disdain
Vexing me and causing pain-
Reap of nothing, the seeds I've lain

Forbidden Fruit, of which I partake,
Unconscious of my grave mistake
And thus the Truth doth sadly shake
My Mind into Eternal Wake

Again in rhyme you tell what emotions rule your heart and what thoughts trouble your soul. Each and every one is a longer story written in shorthand.
