The words have run their course

Submitted by Search on Tue, 2012-09-18 23:10

The words have overflown
And I look back to see dreams I cannot comprehend
For my mind has grown ill
And my own thoughts may have betrayed me

I am reluctant to express my emotion
In fear that they may consume me

I have been guided through strange roads already
With only my own words to blame

I have become afraid
That I have opened my mind too much

Hear me when I say
The mind is a place of your own making
Give it enough power and it shall think for itself

I must step away
And I am uncertain of what will come
I care not for these words
They will fade

I only hope
That I may find the will
To continue to share my emotion once more
I hope that one day I can share my history once more
I must look away for now.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I appreciate moderate constructive criticism
Last few words: 
I'm not so sure of a few things right now. I don't know if I will be writing for a while.
Editing stage: 
Editing - polished draft

For my mind has grown ill??????

mind never can go ill
it may go hayward
and then
meditation
is the only plausible remedy
to control it
and CONCENTRATE IT
