I have never written a poem, so I thought I would give it a try. I am going to make it a little longer, as there are some other things I want to express. And yes, it needed to rhyme! LOL! Anyway, here is my first attempt. I hope you like it.
Within My Mind
I wake at dawn to face the void
Hope in heart, but paranoid
Bottled courage, take it all
Trazadone, Risperdal
I stand alone, steeped in fear
Seeing shadows never there
I hear their voices call my name
I battle on just the same
I pray to God that peace I’ll find
From the war, within my mind
