Path of a Mind LostA Poem by JetMardium8/21/2016 1:30 AMConstantly thinking, wondering, dreaming I’m scrounging and scrawling In my head my life failing Pushing out literary genius As fast, as hard, as often, as my mind shall let me Its on the verge of a crack, I must confess I try to jot down the thoughts As quickly as they come Before I know it, I’ve lost They are already gone Striving, fighting against time Hoping against my better doubts Aching to just leave this legacy of mine As in my head the sound of madness shouts So here another late night I sit up and type If I sleep, I’ll surely awake with another fright The joy in sleep, I fail to see the hype Demons in my head Skeletons in my closet Monsters under my bed Sins stuck to my body, with a bloody corset Reflections reveal the truth in our soul As I look in the mirror, I see it shatter This not an illusion, an undeniable secret I know In the end, my goods deeds shan’t matter For you see I was conceived as a thought, an idea Years, and insurmountable pain, to learn, it took me My soul a concept, my heart an enigma My body the remains of a dead angel My mind pulled from the stars Everything about me, the lords had to finagle Still I bear my previous lifetimes scars I understand the pain of the fallen son I understand the scorn of the stressed father I understand the faith father put in the chosen one And I understand that he truly can’t love another We all pray Some for a little, some for alot We do it day after day Until we realize, our dreams, well, we just never truly had a shot Regardless of if, we go out fighting Then suddenly it all fades away I forget why I started writing As I know not what to say © 2016 JetMardium |
