[bodytext] => Driving insanity…which way can I turn…?
Give me my life back, the fire that burns…. Take this burden off of my heart Let the addiction of darkness part Lift from my soul, the clouds that blind me Give me back my strength, my internal discipline That I had once before…. I'm lost and drifting, through the pains of an addict No more denial, I want to break free From these chains that are holding me down And enticing me with numbness, so I never turn back In to the leader I once was, fearless and just The armour's been torn, and destroyed by rust Your shield of honour, tarnished by the pains of surrendering Giving in to the darkness, a house full of cards A paper thin shield which the darkness cuts to shards Hit by the shrapnel, you start to feel pain And the memories bleed in to your mind, much to your disdain You allow yourself to feel, just for a moment, too much to bear Plunge the needle into pleasure, numb your scars, an empty stare Remains of the warrior, that once occupied your mind Were scattered like the wind, now answers you need to find Your once strong mind, the greatest weapon you have known That lead away from suicide, what helped you deal with being alone Is weakened and tattered, a slave to your master Your heart and soul once moved to goals, now desire and lust is what makes them race faster You need to take back control of your mind Which brought you to greatness, which helped you out of a bind Take back the aggression, take back the rage That flew through your mind, as you were trapped in a cage The cage is now a prison, see through with no door To open and remove yourself, because your lust wants more To keep you inside, and lose your well being Continue to blind your senses, cause of the images you're seeing A battle must rage for your soul once again The dark and the light, your home or snakes den You have to find the inner strength, which is lost inside your head If you don't, and you don't change, All, which you have fought for, will be dead Your family, your son Your wife and loved ones Will all be a casualty, of this sickness inside Which has removed inhibition, but has also stole your pride You always claim to have learned from the past And you always have said, that your happiness will last But this demon inside, has taken your will A maddening voice, directing cheap thrills A silent storm, a violent storm, must erupt in your brain To remove this inhabitant of lust that remains Kill it destroy it, take back your heart Regain control of your mind, do your part If you don't you will destroy, all the things that you've earned And the cycle will continue, as your wife and son get burned….

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
