Rashmi Chattopadhyay Poet I do not know?

End My Mind Pollution

End my mind pollution


I know that I’m addicted
Although it’s self inflicted
Life is not what I depicted
To this I am convicted

I don’t want any help
I want to do it myself
My efforts are in vain
It’s impossible to abstain

Even when I try distraction
My demons say time for action
I wish I could just have them slain
But I can’t nor my life regain

Even if I could ebb the woes
The need for this never slows
I am losing this battle, feeling drained
my brain will simply not be retrained

Please someone give me the solution
End the voices and my mind pollution
Or I know what I’m destined for
If I can’t beat this I’ll be here no more

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.
