The Stir Within

Twisting in my skin
Thoughts collide as I begin
Thankful slumber is far away
I can not shut my mind down from the day

Captured by my will and desire
Free myself and go much higher
Never will my soul rest
Blackness of my thoughtful quest

Bring around my conscious self
Mental stability escapes my health
Darkest thoughts take me deeper
Rambling will fights the reaper

Sick and disturbed labeled by some
My mind won’t obey on the run
Tap the wellspring in my soul
Keep the momentum on a roll

Close my eyes to see the sun
My fingers scurry with the gun
Bring my view to life
Must contend with my inner strife

Beckons me are the voices
No longer can I ignore the choices
Tell the tale that I see
Then perhaps my mind will let me be.
