A Burning Soul

These questions ever-running through my mind, chasing answers they’ll never find.
It’s best to abstain from the things that haunt me.
Unattended questioning leads to burning of third degree in my heart.
It’s best to refrain from the things that taunt me.
I search for your light—shining bright—but the only thing I seem to find is the dark.
Confessions I can’t contain; on my mind a constant strain—it’s daunting.

My soul’s a ship that’s bound to sink in these violent, ill-tempered seas.
I feel the wrath of my own battle.
I keep my voice locked inside, away from you and away from I—it’s calling.
I choose the path easiest to travel.
Nothing will ever be the same. I’ve become so estranged from all of this change inside me.
I disguise lies with laughs, so you’ll never unravel.

I like the quick wit and word

I like the quick wit and word stammering. It all plays well as you read it.
