within from without

This poison within has festered from without

Now it borrows deeply coursing through the veins of my soul

I’ve changed my mind many a time

But never in my life have I been as lost as this

I’m adrift without a sail, without a rudder

Just holding onto my heart and my soul

Up and down I go

I just want to catch my falling self

Up and down I go

This turbulence of being

This turbulence of stress

Looking within, I say let it go

Praying within, I say let it flow

Crying within, I see the cracks

Bleeding within, I know I can never go back

I can never go back to the man I once was

I need to walk forward to the man I must become
