Undesired

The feelings, 
They hold the forte,
The feelings,
They come out of the chambers,
The feelings,
They're like a tempestuous sea, 
He fights to put them under,
They sneak out and trouble him sore, 
He wrestles to lock them up,
They break loose and perplex him,
Phantom beings reside in him,
Two sides in one,
Strange thoughts contest to take the wheels, 
They shapeshift and metamorphose, 
He seeks a way out of the jungle,
He steers his ship to come to land,
The mystery behind walls,
The human curse.
