Where do these thoughts
originate from?
the very ones I lie awake
waiting to come.
Where do they hide
when I’m feeling well?
is there a secret room
in my inner hell.
Where can I go to get rid
of them from my head?
or do I have to wait
until I am laid out dead.
These thoughts that have
grown stronger over the years,
have now won out
and left me in tears.
Was I born with them or
did they find me on their own,
did they emerge from the
shadows when I was alone.
Why can I not resist
their hurtful intentions?
is there no cure or any chance
of an intervention
to release me from
their stranglehold,
or must I continue to
listen and do what I am told.
The 50 year old poet 
In this life you are living
going up and in your lows
your mind has been tuned
to listen to the shadows
don’t know how to fight it
and from where it arose
just know that you want
to silence the deadly voice.
They are a lot of possibilities
and we don’t know them all
but we have always know
we must overcome the wall
we should find gratitude
we would find happiness
no matter how hard is the haul.
