Wilderness of My Mind

In the unbroken wilderness of the jungles of my mind

Lay monsters hiding in underground holes that reside

Fear, resentment and loneliness if I must give them human labels

These nightmarish creatures too real to be merely fables

They pounce and feast upon my psyche when I feel most alone

When I feel my mind splitting and my heart breaking

The harder I run the harder they pursue

Perhaps I’ve to confront my emotional stew

I’m tired of pieces of me placed in their shopping cart

May a light be shined on these dark corners of my heart
