where my secrets are kept

 

there is a place i can go inside of my head
in the back of mind where secrets are kept
a place where the darkness comforts and sooths
where i am at peace to think it all through
away from the clutter and noise of my brain
away from the doubt that brings me more pain
through this darkness i can see clear
and think my dark thoughts without any fear
in the back of my mind i know what to do
time and again i have thought it all through
with a wink and a tear from the eye in my mind
my psychie is steered by the thoughts deep inside
a trick to convince the rest of my brain
that the thoughts that i think are just mildly insane
but the loab in the front is set to resist
and think it all out while the darkness persits
so i am left here to struggle and fight
while the front of my brain insists it is right
and in the back of my mind where my secrets are kept
my rational thought becomes more inept

Another dark and intense look into the tortured mind and soul. As I stated earlier in some of my other comments on your works .... Damn, you write about this subject matter so well. - you have a remarkable talent in conveying your thoughts and emotions so that the reader can feel the pain. Again ... Great Job! .... Ken btw ... another spelling error .... sorry, thought I'd point it out. "while the darkness persits (persists)" You should use the spell check before submitting your posts. The errors only take away from the flow and from the talent that you are.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
