That fear
As sunlight opens my eyes
My stomach is filled with dread
The water I sip won't go down
They say it's all in my head.
The joints I roll to soothe my soul
Are my only grace
The moment these poisoned thoughts return
The tears attack my face
I am nowhere
Drifting slowly
To
A land of endless burden
With creatures they taunt me
As they wait for me to burn
But I shall learn
Is it who or how I am
That makes me delve so deeply
Into regions civility bans
From those who think freely
I observe tainted whims
Fancies I don't share
Their careless joy- that joie de vivre
My soul rejects for fear
That this is nowhere
Drifting slowly
To the very depth of hell
The creatures taunt me
But I'm wary
And will learn what they won't tell.
The calmness of the morning mocks my panicked dreams
I search to find my way out
As nothing is as it seems
This den of lion scare me
But I'm prepared to fight
To save the virtues mother taught me
By God I'll get this right.
In all this chaos my soul has might
And God knows I'll get it right.
