A Dark Mind

October 27, 2015

In my mind, there are dark things

They are not happy, nor welcoming

Sins of lust and wrath control

Everything in my mind, to the tip of my soul

It pains me to realize what's in my mind

Not everything in it is very kind

For my face is a mask to cover this evil

If I take it off I'll become lethal.

Death and violence will occur

And trust me there will be much more

My mind will tell me, "Just put on a smile"

It'll conceal my thoughts, that are so vile

War will rage, and depression will rain

To think my sins will be in vain

Can anything stop it? Still I wonder

If I could control my thoughts, I could end this blunder
