The Struggle

Staring into my mind I wander to find what I seek
I reach out to entwine my fingers with my thoughts
Safe and gentle they are at the top
I try to reach for another but down I fall
I fail to grasp all around me as they swirl and move
Deeper I go and they start to turn
Now crimson like my blood I see the evil
It comes to me like a storm of hate and lost hope
I cower as I feel its icy grip upon my arm
It sucks the soul from deep with in my body
I feel the pain as it rises to leaves me
Weak and worn I struggle to free myself
It is a battle I dare not lose for if I do I have lost myself
I look and call for help that is not found
Pain so intense I crumble to my knees
Looking up I stare in the eyes of my death
Struck by fear I find it is me
I am my own death

There is a place in out minds where we store emotional experiences, the sign on the door should read "knots".

It sounds like Alice in Wonderland, but with a nice, dark little twist. I love the metaphor you use of entwining your fingers with your thoughts, very unique.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
