In My Mind

Darkness exists in the minds of all... Can it be conquered?

In My Mind

 

My mind is a pit of darkness, a void of soulless emptiness,

So abstract, yet so clear of who I am, of all that I fear.

Thousands of voices cry out all at once, commanding me, tempting me,

Whom do I follow? Whom do I choose? Do I even have a choice?

Can I control my inner demons? Can I fight back at my tormentors?

I feel as if my mind is a prison, one I can never escape,

A realm that exists within myself, a realm that is me.

Sometimes I don’t even know if I want to escape, to break free,

My demons sometimes appear comforting, they seem to welcome me.

At times I feel like they are all I have, like no one else cares,

It’s as if my darkness is my only protection, my only solace.

I am afraid to expose it to the light, to let my demons out,

I am afraid of what may take their place, of what I may become.

I want to believe that the light will save me, be my salvation,

I do think that is the right choice, the right path to take.

I know that in the end my demons are going to fall,

And if I don’t break free of them, I will too.

Darkness seems to be all I know, all I am able embrace,

Perhaps I have allowed myself to be corrupted beyond redemption.

I do have hope I can be free, I have hope I can find the light,

I just pray I can free my mind, before I become trapped forever.

our worst enemy is the mind,a vast space filled with all emotions

It's a hard thing, I think, to put into words. I could write a 1,000 page book and I still don't think the mind could be explained entirely.
