So many thoughts collide in my head
When im laying, waging war in the deep consciousness lurking within my head
With words, i feel, i cant express the type of pain i feel inside,
that at times,
makes me feel like im poisoned with lead
Old memories haunt me
as down memory lane...i tread
Sleepless nights find me and wear me out after
Something, i feel, wants me to become nothing more but a common disaster
Sweet dreams i keep chasing, so my soul can find laughter
Like a hunger; it consumes me
And in the dead of the night
It comes ever faster
Like a master crafter,
It makes for me a trap
To still me inside a suffocating wrap
Maybe one day il be free...
from these thoughts that envade me as i try and find peace
...And one day i can be where i want to be
And maybe...inside loving arms...the war within me will...sease
Like true beauty...
It calms my mind and soothes my heart
And keeps me from becoming something else
That rageful and restless beast
May one day he be cut completely
From the part of me
Thats haunted
until one day
I can be with the one i love...
That does set in me...
Her loving and truthful decree
Amen and so let it be
Life bounded by unbounded idea
Dogma of laugh
In the middle of session
Turned the real situation to
Unreal
The sururu or a boggle mind
The characters are disappearing
The length of character and
Breath of character was
Increasing n decreasing the size
The zigzag style of character
Placed in the board
Seems like a jumbling
Mind started shaking
And head eventually fall down
But as soon head was falling
In a quick sease of time
A laugh prevent from falling
Like a blood circulation started
And a sip of water
And a new life
Which in turn reviving from
Unreality to reality
And question was latent
A laugh prevent from
The all the preconception
