Inside

What we all need to realize

There is no need to be cryptic

All I want to do is express these thoughts

These feelings…

And I’m sure you all do too.

But how can we get it out?

We have to find our own ways of course, but still

At the end of it, we still have more to share, more to release…

The confusion of it scares me, as I’m sure it scares you too.

For what are we but puppets to our minds

Unable to feel the ultimate feelings we so crave

Never reaching the epitome of our self-literation

I suppose we are the only ones holding ourselves back.

Because we could do it, because we want to so badly

And if history has showed us anything

We get what we want

But this is on a completely different level.

This is a point of mental evolution

I see people around me

They are seemingly content, and I have no idea how.

We can progress through any physical aspect we can control

But these thoughts

These feelings

I just don’t know

We all have them, I know that for sure

I guess I just can’t numb mine down enough like the rest of you.

I can’t keep quiet about them

They are too prominent in my mind

But if I try to explain it anyone, I seem like a mad man

And I suppose I am

Obsessing over thoughts and feelings

Who am I to try to crack this sacred confusion?

I am just a scribe to the masses

Hopefully this will help you think

Maybe you can do a better job explaining

I know people have tried before

This consciousness is maddening within itself

I wish I could rest my head, as we all wish we could

But it is meant to be a challenging pursuit

I can see that for sure

We will break it one day

It will be a beautiful day indeed

And we will all find true peace

Then we can sleep.

This is wonderful writing. Causes the reader to consider the state of their own mind. It is amazing how the human mind can process so many different emotions and memories. I too feel at a loss for how to explain in words. Well done, I enjoyed reading.
