Poem 1

the mind

With every moment I lie awake the more I'm forced to think time and time again about all the things that could be and that has happened or did not happen. Lost in the solitude of my mind forever trapped in thought forced to relive... my darkest memories... each more painful than the last, testing my sanity, putting a strain on reality and dragging evermore further into the dark abyss know to destroy the strong willed and the bravest of hearts. Fight as I might in the end my mind will prevail. The mind feeds on the outside negativity, aggression, depression, and pain of all sorts getting furthermore stronger and stronger till it wants to kill me, driving me to the brink of insanity and making me loose all sense of right and wrong. All done by over thinking... This is true chaos and it lies within us all, some call it their demons others their flip side, but in reality its the madness that everyone must hide no matter what they call it, to keep others and their selves safe. I know that the inner darkness is strong and anyone can slip, but it is up to us all to get back up and to help others in need because no one knows what trials another has been through and what darkness they have had to face.
