At War

Sun, 02/19/2017 - 17:31 -- ca2117

If I could say the words

In my mind in my soul

But thoughts are like birds

They fly away and go explore

Throughout the day I think of you

I hope today the skies are blue

But inside the gray clouds collide

And I know I’m destined for more

and it hurts the pain is profound

In my head the screaming is loud

I take what they say to clear my mind

The king of Babylon rules me inside

I try to fight the whispers of the day

But at night the shadows come to play

I hide under the covers and stay away

But they stay in my head anyway
