The Tormented Mind


Words that torture
Words that bless
What shall put my thoughts to rest?

Heart held captive
By the mind
Feelings ever left confined

Words that torture
Words that haunt
Consequence of fate unkind

My thoughts are wasted
Deep in my head
On that short phrase
I left unsaid

Lullabeth

I'm an 18 year old writer who has been writing for as long as I can remember. From short stories, fanfiction, and poetry to song lyrics and music composition, I manage to keep my self constantly busy all day and all night. But I enjoy it. Writing is my life and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
