Within the Depths

of my Mind

Within the depths of my mind, I rest unconscious.

I am neither here nor there, nor far nor near,

when I question its rightness and if I ever existed.

***

Within the depths of my unconsciousness,

my thoughts scream in a turbulent flow.

So loud yet, less than high and lower than low.

***

Within the depths of my thoughts,

I remember the past

I question the Where and the When

and when the Why and the How has passed.

***

Within the depths of my memories, I experience love.

I question its meaning and whether I’m guilty or sad.

***

Within the depths of my love, I finally feel.

I question its weight and if it is real.

***

Within the depths of my feelings and a decade of time,

I finally find,

that nothing is mine.

***

Within a decade of time, I finally see,

what I feel is needed,

to love and to heal.

***

Within the depths of my mind, in the end, I rest conscious.

Aware, I bypassed the past

with no single tear,

so I must now trespass the present

with absolute fear.

***

Within the depths of my mind

I fully lie conscious,

aware that faith in the future,

is forever a promise.

About the Creator

Jess S

One day I will be myself again,

and this darkness might come to an end,

and all doubt will cease,

and all strength will rise.

One day my tainted memories will be left behind,

and I will be able to see the world through a clear lens.
