Seething Cauldron

Voices from deep within,
Voices from my recesses,
Two worlds in my chambers,
War within my members.

There’s an interference of thoughts, 
They also see-saw, 
I strive to permute them,
I stand amid crashing waves.

Oh! The billows within me,
My belief is tried in a fiery furnace,
I'm caught in a web of complexities,
I’m shaken vehemently to the foundation.

I know who I believe,
I know to whom I pledge my allegiance,
My hands hold firmly to my shield,
To ward off encroaching assailants.
