reaching in and trying to rearrange
my brain
my mind wearing thin
insane
i am mangled
torn and twisted within
i want to give up
but i can't stop fighting

too strong to be weak
and too weak to be strong

i scream to the empty
and whisper to none
while tromping through ever
whatever becomes

giving in as i conquer
standing tall
i fall short
and whispering to echoes
conversations of sorts
while turning to darkness
i'm blinded by light
caustic shadows
linger
as
smoke fills the nights

and ever unwilling
give in to grasp hold

unanswered questions
become
unheard prayers
all while finding
another
found yet

...lost soul...
