A Troubled Mind
A Troubled Mind
In fleeting captured glimpses, my memories collide
If only I could heal one before it’s forced aside
The constant pounding of the war that rages in my mind
Has left me weak and without hope, that there will come a time
That finished thoughts and kinder dreams will someday take their place
I long to know of sanity and pray for better days
In futile effort to be heard the newest thought is lost
Another forces it aside, without concern for cost
My cries for help are silenced, by those who turn their back
And any merits I might have they judge for what they lack
Still I remain a prisoner, a troubled mind in chains
Behind this wall of sadness my broken heart remains
Nowhere to turn except within, alone I face each day
To fight the inner demons holding sanity at bay
This battle for survival, takes all I have to give
The only thing protecting me has been my will to live
Somewhere inside me hides the hope that that time will be the cure
And somewhere in my troubled mind, hope struggles to endure
