Unwanted Thoughts

Listen to poem:

Unwanted thoughts, they haunt my mind,
In shadows deep, they're intertwined.
Like whispers in the silent night,
They steal my peace, obscure the light.

They creep in slow, without a sound,
In every quiet moment found.
A storm of doubt, a sea of fears,
They echo all my hidden tears.

Memories of a distant past,
Regrets that hold and grip so fast.
The what-ifs and the might-have-beens,
The haunting dance of unseen sins.

I try to push them far away,
To guard my heart and keep them at bay.
Yet still, they come, relentless, bold,
Their icy fingers take their hold.

In daylight hours and darkest dreams,
They lurk within my silent screams.
A never-ending, cruel refrain,
That binds my soul in endless pain.

I search for peace, for respite’s touch,
A moment free, a breath, a crutch.
Yet unwanted thoughts, they cling and stay,
A shadow that won’t fade away.

But still I fight, with weary heart,
To tear their grip, to break apart.
In hopes that one day I’ll be free,
From unwanted thoughts that imprison me.
