Burning beyond belief by this&


Burning beyond belief by this violently raging brain

Freezing from an impenetrable heart, frozen by years of pain

Stone exterior, attempting to contain

Dying soul, fighting with it's last bit of life

Crashing between stone walls, begins the sway of side to side

Balance disposed, shell disperses, soul commences evasion

Mind works as law, encourages return, with forceful persuasion

Mind and heart now both at ground level

Heart inches toward mind, pushing soul to rebel 

The thawing heart beats stronger with each stride

Mind losing ability to hide

Soul escapes successfully the self loathing vessel

Clash of mind and heart, becomes a tireless wrestle

Damned to eternally tussle, internally rustle emotional stability and clarity of thought

Departure of soul, never to feel whole, turmoil within, if only exterior weren't weak rock with which to begin
