A War Within

A raging war in my mind,

different voices, different views.

Makes it impossible to unwind.

Different messages that confuse.

My restless mind spirals.

Insecurities resume their place.

Racing thoughts cycle.

My peace is gone without a trace.

Conflicted messages flood within.

Acceptance is replaced by fear.

I don’t know where we begin

to find a way to make things clear.

We each have a right to be heard.

But the truth is impossible to find.

A dagger to the heart with every word.

I try to find sanity within my mind.

Sleep is impossible to find.

The noise within explodes.

All of my fears, they remind

of doctrine that controls

Some have peace within,

others judgments and wrath.

It’s making my mind spin.

To inner turmoil, leads this path.

A prisoner of my own brain,

voices I can’t escape.

I think I am going insane,

beliefs my past shaped.

Pleading for a way to agree,

that past beliefs lied.

Wanting to be set free,

from chains that bind.
