Restlessness

Haunting boredom creeps up on me
My soul will not rest its weary head
Manic thoughts plague my mind
Brings me chaos

Melancholy and joy fight for dominance
No peace exists, the madness persists
No stillness, no calmness
Brings me panic

Thoughts of betrayal haunt my mind
Deep waves of anguish overwhelm me
No happiness, no joy
Brings me agony

No point or reason
No time or season
Absence of my life
Brings me restlessness
