The Clawing On the Inner Walls of My Skull

Give into pure thought, I'll entice you a spell, Extracted from fear, fear my own hell. The trees, they fall, the air, it drowns, From beasts of skin, these earth-dwelling clowns. Stuck in my mind, Thoughts confined, Of a life lived purely; a being redefined. So I slip on my thought cap, A brain full of tears, To express all my feelings, Few cheers - no cheers, Jeers, the jeers. The savagery of melancholy, Befits of thee, a contrast to me! Diluted eyes make everything fine, Even through qualms, Of spilled red wine. If wine be thine own, Yourself to condone, For the seeds of pain already be sown. No nature to blame, Your soul to shame! For life is more than only a game. Blow your head off with solemn conviction, Nought was heard save one conniption, A cry to thy god, A blatant ophidian. A human unfit of a life coexistent, Fear of slipping, running so distant. Human, none of nature, Just a foul spirit, a damnable creature. O cruel confinement, I so wish I could live, In a tale of nature, True, righteous existence to give. But such is the fate of all human being, Of a life of eyes, prone to not seeing, Seeing the pain of mother nature's tears, For shame to you all, You have become your own fears.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
