Battle Of The Mind

Contributed by hoist1atca on Thursday, 4th November 2004 @ 07:04:34 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry




Confusion is the chosen name for my battle-
As I find that my life is filled with chaos-
Yet I know that the fault is to be mine alone-
For the trouble I have caused by my own hand…

Foolishness is the steed, which I ride into battle-
As this trait I have come to know so well-
For the stupidity of my actions are of my own choosing-
Yet the craziness tends to help me retain my sanity…

Arrogance is the armor that I wear into battle-
For pride is nothing more than inordinate self esteem-
As hubris is an emotion that is always overbearing-
Yet I wear my armor to protect my inadequate superiority…

Insanity is the reason behind my battles-
As the madness of life has mixed the man I am-
Given irrationality to the process of my thoughts-
Left me standing alone in this lunacy that I now call myself…

Just blame it all on age and go out and enjoy life and love and live to the fullest. Find someone who completes you and live to fulfill their life as they will be doing for you. Age does have its perks! lol

Joe, this was so very creative. I enjoyed it immensely.
I think we share something here...

But life goes on and it only gets better. You know that, right? :~)

Peace.
