»-My Innermost Self-«

Struggling thoughts inside ones mind.

Off in a wonderland state, I feel myself going..drifting inside mind**
To most this is an unseen place, kept closed off and purposely hidden**
I'm there though, mostly not by my choice...I become ill in thought at times**
It's this place, inside my mind..that I travel to knowing its not real, yet I can taste it**
At times I fight it when I'm alone..it can frighten me.
Other times, I go there to heal and solve my expectations**
It can be so beautiful there, that beauty that most envy. Yet...sometimes its so dark, even light won't appear**
I wonder there to seek a salvation that physically is never is available. It can be lonely here, or overwhelming crowded**
It's a struggling thought or words in my ear, all that comes in will remain. If I don't wonder there to clear it, it will fill up and consume me**
My innermost self is perfect and imperfect..beautiful and confused. One day when I'm aware, the struggles will be no more**

A very introspective write that exudes a troubled soul
Some typos to sort:
that most envie-envy
I wonder there to seek a salvation-did you mean wander?
that physically is never is available-too many 'is's'
or overwhelming crowded** -overwhelmingly

Thank you John. Lol, I caught on to the typos..
Honestly, I write most of my poems on my phone
then paste them here. My mind knows what I want
to say..lol
Thank you for your honesty.
Overall...the meaning of it, do you like it?

Thanks again..Debra
