Take this light from hand.
The tunnel ahead is darkened.
I don’t pray for a safe return.
I just pray for the fire not to burn.
With lies, and love, and life all twisted.
A steady mind is left missing.
Mind that I drink and drive?
Mind that I forget the car is moving at 65..
That’s how my mind seems to think.
It races for moments that leave not a trace.
I cannot stand the feelings rushing up on me.
Emotions cloud this mind of mine.
Take me from sanity to insane in five.
I get lost, and confused amongst all the noise.
These emotions not only cloud but scream.
Yell and shout to the very point my ears could bleed.
I get stuck in these emotions.
I let them confuse and bottle up inside.
Leaving them to ponder and cause thunder.
My mind is full of noises beyond control.
Screaming, thunder, clouding, storms rage on.
My own yelling is covered up.
It’s not loud to cover over my emotions.
Nothing is louder.
Nothing is stronger than the thunder rolling my mind.
My mind seeks out for answers.
Answers that cannot be found.
Looking for them in my shadow’s eyes.
I only become as lost as before.
No answers can be found here.
The tunnel ahead is darker than the road behind.
Hearing or answers, not present in mind.
So I pray, beg, scream, and yell.
Take this light from my hand.
Because I know where I’m going,
And I know where I’ve been.
I prefer in my mind, to not move, or travel.
Just stuck in this tunnel,
Ignoring my mind.
