CHAOS IN MY HEART
CHAOS IN MY HEART
Chaos can emerge in an unsettled brain
But also in the heart, as I know too well
Surrendering rhythm and a regular beat
A place where thought and feelings meet
To realise that peace can no longer dwell
Like scraping across rough wooden grain
Any constant patterns are now disturbed
It is as if a sort of troubled anarchy rules
With violence breaking out at the border
A state in which it is embracing disorder
As if it were governed by a ship of fools
Without any plan how it may be curbed
A condition, but one can trace the cause
All logic having failed, no clarity remains
Or from where, any solution might come
It’s one more identified case of Zero sum
As it’s what one side loses, another gains
Yet it’s always designed to give one pause
