Analysis of Mind, Body and Soul



My heart is broken
Better left unspoken
My mind is cluttered
From dreams left shuttered

My body is broken
I feel like I'm choking
Love can be fulfilling or
It can be chilling
Cold and bitter
My heart can no longer flitter.

My world is now spinning
No longer secure and fulfilling
Fearful and alone
The security is gone.
Alone and unwilling
Oh I hate this feeling

My chest is tightened
And I am frightened
My mistakes are my undoing
My faults just keep brewing

Will my world ever get better
Where I feel stronger and better
My mind is still racing
As I am here pacing

God help me here
I'm so full of fear
And the the unknown is near
Please take my hand
While I take this stand.
