The War Within

The intensity of emotions

Is a strong man.

Left unguarded,

He binds us immobile.

He drags us to plains of conflict,

Where logic meets lunacy.

Through swallowing hallows,

Where conviction gasps for sanity.

He leads us to pits of silver,

And dungeons of gold,

Of conniving comfort,

Of brooding blasphemy.

Resist him!

And though you lose a battle,

You have not lost the war.
