PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm being haunted by my very own mind

its like it was all preplanned

laid out and clearly designed

the very thought must have been polished until it

absolutely shined

and in its very own casings I have been almost

unwillingly enshrined

my thoughts when I pen them seem stifled and somehow

unsigned

its like I put on a pair of glasses

only to discover that they make me blind

how can this choking coil wound so tight inside me

redirect its wind

can one not to one's own self find inner peace and

strength that is needed to be caustic yet kind

along a narrow ledge leading to unlikely luck I've

allowed myself to crawl behind

and as I peer forbiddingly into losses eager abyss

all preoccupation fails to make good its thoughtless

threat

that in itself was once made clear and defined

so my suffering is slow as I pay off this one final

debt

for I say, give me this grilling any day over the

grind.........
