5 Minute Karma

The demons rage deep inside my head,

Tormenting me lying in my bed,

And this heart screams in tired pain,

Is it really just chemicals running around my brain?

The difference between us all is a staggering fact,

Even though with similarity we have made a solemn pact,

To abide by our own set of ordered intrusion,

Is it at all real or is it just our own little illusion?

Confusion has come home today,

It's come back to town with my brain to play,

Destroying my thoughts wave after wave,

Employing this soul to be its disposable slave.

Climbing the walls and wandering around this place,

Wondering who is real and what not to chase,

Destroyed slowly by time's invisible sands,

Not enough hours are held by anyone's hands.

The horizon is so quickly found behind our eyes,

Our insight is reduced to one of our highs,

If time is wasted no seeds will grow,

No rain will fall and no rivers will flow.
