My mind is in a storm
Traveling faster than the wind
In a winding hurricane
Wondering how my life will begin

Whether I believe
the things that I see
or the phrases of
“however”

The pain from the past
drags its way through my heart
slowly passing through
the better parts of
my later life

The later life that
I live now.

But still my mind
seems to be in a storm
because slowly the rope
that reels me in, is tugging
my heart which is at war.

To all the viewers of my work, if you do choose to rate, please leave a comment. As well as low raters, I'd like to know why that is. Feedback means a lot to me, and to not give it is not beneficial:/ So be a bit logical?!
