Introspection Opus

Yes its another poem and it’s a long one this time. It’s almost a stream of consciousness (but of course it still rhymes, sorry again) and follows a line of thinking I got caught on for an epic fifty  stanzas. I’ll totally understand if you don’t read it all.  I’ve split it into pages, it’s that long and it’s the first of these new posts that has a “Read more…” link. So what are you waiting for?

Introspection Opus

I am cursed with over thinking.
Faith in the rational mind.
Trapped in a cage of contemplation.
Emotion kept contained.

How did I end up in this state,
And can I make it back?
Can I break these mental chains,
And regain what I now lack?

Why am I trapped by reason?
Left in this cage to rot.
I can see potential causes.
But solutions I have not.

I feel I can’t reveal this.
That’s the issue at it’s core.
Theres no help from outside myself.
And self help helps no-more.

I’ve identified the causes
Or at least what they could be.
Whether they can be reversed
We’ll have to wait and see.
