The Mind, the Body, the Heart, and the Soul

I can't describe what I see
If there's a future for me
How many obstacles I have yet to overcome
How many silly mistakes I have yet to make
How many laughs and cries there will be
How many unrequited loves and heartbreaks will be felt so deeply
How much life will keep tormenting me?
When will I feel satisfied with myself?
When will things fall into place?
When will everything finally feel normal for me?
When will the “bad thoughts” exist my befouled mind?
When will the guilt exist my soul?
I am tired
I loathe saying it, whether in my mind or out loud
My mind and my body are in a riot
While my heart is watching with hollowness
I can’t help but ignore all three of them
My soul is telling me to keep going, there is hope to everything she says
She’s the fourth one
She’s the one telling me to go on
So I do 
I do until my mind,my body, and my heart all collapse
Until one day they are all at peace
And there will be that one future for me 
Where I can finally see
Something exquisite for me whether its passion or simply tranquility 
One day I will be able to say, loud and clear 
I am happy to be who I am 
However for now, I need to save the three 
They need me now, more than ever
Just as much as I need them 
I will find the ease
