Sound in Soul

A kind of poem/rant riddled with truths and dreams. It kind of goes a few directions but in the event tells a story.

Yesterday was a crazy day,
To learn and to confess
The stress had my life in a mess

 

My thoughts we're running

and running rather madly

I acted like it was nothing
it felt like it was nothing

Still sound in soul
But a mind out of control

 

She was all I had

Her and god

shinning their bright lights

 

Life was full of sleepless nights
The nine to five

Drowning in the river of a double life
The love, the lies and
the fight to survive

 

Needing an escape to lean on

Nowhere to go

 

life was hard at home

 

Depressed and suicidal mother

AND sister,

and I was alone

Grey areas spill and they overflow

The pressure grows

The addiction that never let me go

Everything was taking toll.

 

I'm back today

This day
Armed with a lot that I have gained

Treasures picked up on the way

It's time to stand up straight;
never sway
pray and
work hard to bring change

 

Take who I was beforehand;
What I became
what I'm becoming, and
Bend and shake
Mould, shape, and
start to create

 

I cant stop dreaming of that better place

I keep on thinking up a million ways

 

All hands to the ceiling

Lets do it for the children
So they may grow up and know the way
Lets do it for the mothers and fathers
So that hope may grow inside today, and
for the sinners and saints
Under god we are all the same

 

Most of all my love
Everyday it rings true
What truly excites me most,
is doing all of this with you

I love your passion;

your grace

your fashion

your taste

 

Its safe to say I want you

 

I want to be with you

 

I want everything to do with you

 

Your reflection is where I gauge my direction,

Your soul is where I gaze out to Heaven

 

Lets find a place together,

Where we can stay forever.

I hold on to your love

I NEVER want to let you down

Faith with god

lets turn this around 

 

Author's Note

It still needs a lot of work but Id like to read what you have to say. If you have the time, id appreciate it. Any tips would be well received. I don't know about a title either, any ideas?

This has insight into the soul of a man, I feel you brother, you did well! However at some stages it feels controlled and restricted, my advice is let it flow naturally, write it as it comes, do not be afraid to lay the words down as they come to you! Don't hold back set yourself free in your art, that's why we do this!

This is full of depth and pain but the hopeful glimmer of love shines through each line. Nicely written.
