Dark Thoughts

Walking down the path of life,
Turning left, spinning right
Hesitating on which to choose,
The stakes are high, so much to loose
Thoughts run in and thoughts walk out,
My mind is in a spin
The pressure is too much to bare,
I sit paralyzed, can only stare
The noise is getting louder and louder,
The voices are out of control
Darkness creeps in as I sit alone,
Then I remember my house is a home
A home filled with love and happiness,
What more could I want
I lay my demons down to die,
My spirit is free and now shall fly
