Diffidence
I’m faltering, adrift in turbulent storms
In seas of my mind’s chaotic waters
Overwhelmed, drowning in unrealistic visions
Battling against eruption of reasoning
Leading me into secondary confusions
I fight against odds of menial edification
Trying to escape the rituals of insanity
When faced with alternative tribulations
I invite myself to contemplate liberation
Freedom from the depths of despair
There’s a child inside beseeching hope
Urging me to rise from self-destruction
Pounding on the forehead of life
Conveying a message, return to humanity.
