Statement of Mind
Statement of mind
Frightening awareness of everything that is lost
An abundant memory of mistakes that cost
A charade of a life that is and what turned to dust
Chamber music playing in the mind as an audience hushed
The truth of your reality is about to be played in the theatre rushed
Deliver me and protect me under this house then teach to be crushed
I go silently about my business in my mind till interruption pushed
Awareness of a futile world becomes my strain as I lie on the cusp
Heaven and hell is a place on earth but tired of both I mistrust
Rotting leaves on the muddy ground cover the dead like a crust
Skeletons below us reminds me that love once had was that so just
Believe me when I say not one sunrise I will awake encouraged with trust
If hell is a place in the mind then I have been there and scarred and crossed
My theory is that once given you have for eternity but be careful of pretty paintings that you brushed
