I've been working on a song But my mind is too distracted The labyrinth within Twisted, tied. Bound by memories, reminiscence Held by love, hope, and fear I try my best to untangle the mess inside my skull Sort the good, tame the bad, But the knots are clenched and tight. I sit down to take a breath To relax and ponder. But as I sit, I realize The task set out in full. Overwhelmed by my own internal world Emotions flood the banks of reason. Confusion overtakes my will. Irritated by my own distraction I reach for somthing more Poetic release, Pen and paper. Tools lending to untangle Put in words what words won't say Force me to sing my thoughts Into a rythm understood. Words alone are not enough, But a single combination Can reveal a world of silence Contained in the mind..... Of a poet.
Reason for writing:
Written because I love to write and all too often i'm at a
loss of words... what i want to say can't always be said
in everyday conversation but instead must be felt by a
reader who may have similar feelings.
