Warden

I dance in a symphony of thoughts orbiting my brain,
In a daze I spiral manically,
Lost in a rhythm that's off key,
I dance and dance trying to find balance but I lose my footing and fall to my knees,
I feel the tears hit the wooden floor as I try to gather myself but I can't stand the thoughts that run my mind I'm doomed to listen to them endlessly,
In a prison of my own making I take a breath and rise to confront my inner demons wounding me,
But alas the one controlling me will never set me free,
I am a hostage held captive in this cage that is my mind and I am destined for incarceration till the reaper guides my hand I beg you take pity,
To my knees once more I look to god and mumble foolishly,
Please don't let me live another life,
I plea,
Don't let me live another, tell me this is it now and I can finally sleep.
