Brain On Fire

My Brain is on Fire
My Thoughts are blacken and cracked
My Soul is trapped in a mire 
My Body feels racked 

I am forever changed 
Am I forever lost?
 I am forever deranged
Am I knowing the true cost? 

Oh God, what is the plan 
Why could I have not been hit harder? 
Oh God, I do not know where it began 
Why could I not have been smarter 

I wish I could find peace 
Maybe just find some release?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
