The Sanity Inside

Into my thoughts I travel Becoming one, with what's inside Daring to gaze upon sanity And all the things I hide Memories drift in tandem Upon the silence of the night To float away forever Fading from my sight Remorse’s become my jailer Deemed guilty by my peers Betrayed by sense of reason Surrounded by my fears Outside my vision lies tomorrow Futures to which I'm blind Here I am in my own prison Held captive in my mind These walls will never crumble Too high for me to see Awakened from this slumber I'm alive, but never free There is conflict within me Caught between wrong and right I am but a shadow Straying from the light

Well done, Jared. I think you touch upon things that many of us experience, to varying degrees.
