Notes About The Poem

Inside My Mind

What once was straight, delightful and pure,
Has lost all of its stripes,
It’s become the colour of a beautiful war, 
The colour of a beautiful fight,

Where those in my mind argue and feud, 
About whatever they want,
Choosing to become a misty dark cloud, 
Made up of whatever they’ve got,

And the words they use conflict about love, 
“I like it”, “No, I actually don’t”,
“It doesn’t matter”, “Yes it does”, “I’m fine”, “No I’m not”, 
“I don’t want it”, “But I want it the most”,

These arguing thoughts they conflict all day long, 
It’s how I feel when I’m deep down inside,
It’s when part of me says “Yes” when the other says “No”, 
In my conflicting emotional mind.
