The Perfect Balance

 

I long only for peace
In the chaos of this world
My mind churns with Hatred
Anger
And Shame
I just want to be sane
I feel like I’m going crazy
Losing my mind
To the demons of my soul
My heart is going black
My faith is missing
And I can’t seem to find it
All around me
I see my world fall apart
And I’m lost in the middle
Of this madness
Trying to reach the sky
But my feelings are pulling me down
And now I’m falling toward the ground
Hoping it won’t hurt too much
When I finally hit
I think oblivion would feel good
There would be
No reason for
Confused emotions
That take me over
I would lack the anger
As well as the hate
I would never have to feel guilty
But I want to live
And life is hard and complicated
There’s no way to avoid it
So we try our best
And hope that we can find
Some sort of happiness
In the disorder of this world
I long for peace
I long to find
The perfect balance
Of heart and mind
