When we all find those demons from our past in close pursuit, and how lost we can become as we try to escape them…..

Lost Inside…..

I’m lost inside this head of mine,
images twirl, before my eyes…
Thoughts are scattered, now fragmented,
seeking the truth, amid the lies…

I’m lost within, emotions strong,
my memories play a sad refrain….
Discordant notes so loud, they jar..
Psychological torment is my pain…

I’m lost, without a harbour safe,
no where to go, no place to run…
Within my head, the scenes play out..
where will it end, now it’s begun…?

So hold me now, let darkness fade..
Bring me to light, where I can abide…
Help put behind, my damaged Past,
wrapped in your arms, willingly, lost inside.

    Thank you Audrey, Christine and Francois, all for your lovely comments…insightful too… Sometimes, it is only through poetry, that you can really find the expression that you need to convey what you are trying to come to terms with. I really appreciate all of your comments. Thank you for visiting my page…

    Amazing, most don’t realize that the most difficult opponent is sometimes found within one’s own mind.
