Inner Self

Just a man alone in thought

The darkness overtakes me.

Content with the solace it hath brought

The silence, it awakes me.

Tired & weary in physical state

My soul calls out & mind berates.

Average mind of mad proportions

Why must you create such distortion?

Heart, trembling with wonder

Desire to feel torn asunder.

Find myself, rejuvenated, new day brings new life.

Different time, same old soul, anew created, retaining all its strife.

I mean not to sound cold or disconnected, habits of old formed once more by lessons unreflected.

Eyes that see time aloft, mysteries revealed.

All upon a mad man gone sane who must keep his secrets sealed.
