Sanity

Light blinds me.
Darkness surrounds me.
Shadows follow me.
My soul speaks to me.
Wild, determined to be free.
Am I seeking some inner sanity?

I close my eyes against the brightness;
I'm drowning in a sea of shadows.
Deeper I drift into the darkness,
Seeking comfort within its depths.
I welcome its embrace cold and calculating.
Am I still seeking some inner sanity?

Fighting against dark thoughts, dark ideas,
Searching for myself, my being.
I question its force and cold nature;
I need simplistic serenity, comfort and love.
Thrashing about in an insane world,
Forever looking for some inner sanity.
