Problems
          

So many problems came  to me
Like a sea of unbound mystery 
Bushwa of unoriginal thoughts 
Flooded   my own soul with 
trivial sights
I ve seen the minds speak all 
the void
The void has lost it's way for 
words
Problems become the night and 
day
When I was young my life was 
fair
But now I am grown, went 
through the pain
My heart is heavy, no delight
This panic, fear, pain, and dark
Have wrapped their hands 
around my heart
The voiceless voice of many 
counts
Tells me,"  hang on"My dear 
friend
We shall breath fire to the day 
These problems that flooded 
me
In them I saw my destiny
