Silent Thoughts

This struggle 
 Is 
Real
It can be maddening
 Actions say one thing
 Words and thoughts say another
I am wrong
Am I wrong
What makes a person a good person
What makes a person a bad person
Staying silent
While speaking
Falling
Falling
Reaching out 
Emptiness
Contemptuous
Spiteful
Longing for 
Understanding and clarity
Finding 
Muddled confusion
Sprinkled with
Brief moments of relief


The Train

 There is a train
That you cannot see
It wails through the night
It has many cars
With unlimited seating
For no one does it wait
For this one you will never be late
We all have a ticket
We all have a date

Depression

My old friend
My old friend has come back again
My old friend
My dear old friend that I cannot stand
My old friend
My old friend has come to torture me again
My old friend
My old friend that tells me things
My old friend
My old friend that lies to me with every thought
My old friend
My old friend
I take up the battle
Once again

Bewildered

Waves of confusion keep rolling in my brain
Sheets of anxiety like a pouring rain
A shroud of doom hangs over my head
Don't know what I've done
Don't know what I've said
Keep trying and trying
Keep coming up short
Failure and misery
For me are sport
My demon speaks
It tells me lies
Makes me doubt my every word
Makes me give up
Before I even try

Cloudy

Wondering, wondering, wondering
Weary, weary, weary
What has happened to me
I seem to be on a journey 
Without a destination
Where is my spirit taking me
Seems like I have been on 
This road to nowhere 
For a long, long time
When does it change
When does it stop
