    where my secrets are kept

     

    there is a place i can go inside of my head
    in the back of mind where secrets are kept
    a place where the darkness comforts and sooths
    where i am at peace to think it all through
    away from the clutter and noise of my brain
    away from the doubt that brings me more pain
    through this darkness i can see clear
    and think my dark thoughts without any fear
    in the back of my mind i know what to do
    time and again i have thought it all through
    with a wink and a tear from the eye in my mind
    my psychie is steered by the thoughts deep inside
    a trick to convince the rest of my brain
    that the thoughts that i think are just mildly insane
    but the loab in the front is set to resist
    and think it all out while the darkness persits
    so i am left here to struggle and fight
    while the front of my brain insists it is right
    and in the back of my mind where my secrets are kept
    my rational thought becomes more inept

    Another dark and intense look into the tortured mind and soul. As I stated earlier in some of my other comments on your works .... Damn, you write about this subject matter so well. - you have a remarkable talent in conveying your thoughts and emotions so that the reader can feel the pain. Again ... Great Job! .... Ken btw ... another spelling error .... sorry, thought I'd point it out. "while the darkness persits (persists)" You should use the spell check before submitting your posts. The errors only take away from the flow and from the talent that you are.
