Sleepless nights,
thoughtful mind
Outburst of feelings,
turned into rhyming
One gong I hear,
One answer I fear
Running, Shouting
Clearing, Holding
Moving, Staying
Ending, Beginning
Deep within my soul,
it occupied a hole
Lingering for so long,
still it goes on
I talked my way out,
but my resolve can’t direct how
Finding an exit,
Simplicity pulls me back to it
Smiling, Gazing
Laughing, Joking
Asking, Sharing
Greeting, Snobbing
A new line may lead to an escape
but it ain’t me who’ll initiate
Ambivalence runs in my vein
It’s like a blissful pain
Struggling, Enjoying
Caring, Numbing
Trusting, Wondering
Fleeing, Standing
Still, win or lose
there’s no stopping it
there’s no changing
Fixed yet growing
thoughtful mind

Deep within my soul,

I talked my way out,
