Of All My New Intention

There's no doubt, by reason, my reason's in doubt
I stayed up all night 'til my demons came out

I let my indulgence seep into my skin
And, looked for Deception to hide my heart in

Yet, selling my sorrow is all that I'd known
In All My Intention, my heart is alone

Pretending that I could still bury my past:
My ghosts had returned to provoke me, at last

But, oh how it seems disenchanting to feel
Will Fear every find me, and know I am real?--

There's something in sorrow which makes it like Home
I'm so far beyond you, with no road to Roam...

Thank you. It is impossible for me to write a rhyming poem without perfect meter, as such satisfies the left and right sides of my brain. I am glad that you connected with it, and thank you again for reading.

Thank you. I have 'played' with this one quite a bit, and this is the arrangement which I like the most...at least, for now.
