WAR


 

I can't explain the things that I'm feeling right now

 

My mind, my body, my soul are being bombarded with poisenous thoughts

 

I'm being ripped apart into a million little pieces

 

I'm drowning in my own sorrows constantly gasping for air

 

I'm in a dark room and can't find the light switch

continuosly caressing these walls but its like an endless battle

 

A battle longer than the Hundreds year war

 

Exhausted, drained, yet no solutions in site

 

It's not a physical battle

 

By no means are fist and kicks involved nor blows delivered.

 

The bombs are exploding, the bullets are flying

 

But where? It's not where the eyes can see

 

It's in another realm a mental realm hidden deep within the file cabinets of your brain

 

Atomic war has been waged

Multiple sides are at opposition

Massive amounts of damage is inflicted

 

Don't know if these wounds can heal nor the pain disappear

 

I just want it to stop, the rain to clear

 

I want the storm to be over

The grey clouds to seperate

Let the sun come out

Let it shine on me

 

I want to lay on moist grass, look up to the sky the reflection that is the moon

 

I want it all to go away

I want it to end

I want to be happy

I want that innocence I once had

I want to not have a care in the world,like a two year old running free

I want to know, to believe it's going to be alright

 

I just want to be at PEACE
