Current State Of Mind
Confused
When I try to give myself the gift of bliss,
It seems I only do it to numb myself
When truth rises up,
I let it blow away with the wind
When reality makes sense,
I seal it inside a bottle
Everything I really care about,
Seems to be my worst enemy
All my truth gets sent away
To a deserted and forbidden island,
Turning me into stone
But now when it seems I do care,
And truth comes back with the wind
It only seems the stone gets thicker and thicker,
harder and harder
So tell me, which reality is true?
Angry
My numb hand;
scabbed and dark purple
from burning hot coal,
seems it will perish very soon
There are times I don’t know I am holding the coal;
suggesting that my hand has died already
But who can blame me?
Because I don’t know how to let go of it
Warrior
My heart aches
from pain and fear
Though they try to make me and my life
seem as if it were a crystal stair,
I know my truth
and will never let go of it
For I am a warrior,
Who fights until her end.
Wounded heart
My wounded heart,
sewn up with bandages
and stitches,
aches so much I cannot feel it
Seems so deep down I cannot see it
And my memory withers away,
Whether I am trying to give myself the gift of bliss,
or burdening myself with the sorrow of a lie,
I always do it
a million
little
times
Given up
When truth comes up,
my mind doesn’t bother
It thinks
that is that!
Lying like no other,
Taking no action at all
I begin to wonder,
will I ever be free?
