Musical Tangent

Just a whirlwind of thoughts has taken me off on a tangent

Where am I running too 
Only my deviant mind has allowed me to proceed
To an unchartered place leaving me unsettled
It is a fear within

Puzzling music follows like footsteps behind
Is this hell-bent or what twisting my mind

Some say I am razor sharp in thought
I just think there is too much damn commotion
The Some-Say people should concentrate on their own thought process
Rather than worry about my morsel of a life

One should contemplate all the idiosyncrasies of our existence
Determined to learn and acquire the knowledge
To master our spiritual passageway to pure bliss 
Before extinction

It is utter lunacy to think different
Or do you hear what I hear…
The music following like footsteps behind…
