Delusions of the Mind

this urge inside 
Its  not  my plan
It whispers in my ear 
Ideas that I’d rather not hear 
Soft and slow 
Until the point of  no return 
I place my nail upon my skin
Jagged  and able to pierce my skin 
I fall asleep 
And the pain is gone  
Hours lonely 
I cant feel the same 
No one knows what its like to feel 
This urge inside 
The stress I feel 
The scars I hide 
I only want what’s best 
Locked away some where 
Deep inside my heart still beats
The  rhythm of my heart 
Is off beat with my mind and soul 
But I keep on keeping on 
I wish this nightmare 
Would just go away 
Go back 
To a place where I love 
Go back and see my love 
I try so hard to feel better 
To get well 
But my universe is fractured  
My mind is  indignant,
As I lay me down to sleep 
I know the lord 
Is helping my soul to keep
