Venturing Into An Inner Unified Clarity Poem by James Darwin Smith II

Thinking too much
Atop a mental standstill
Procrastinating my next move
Upon this life's future journey
As a tidal wave of thoughts
Topple over me with great affliction

This mind, it must find clarity!

Days upon days, Nights upon nights
So much pondering, Mind in hyper drive
Loneliness, Worriedness and confusion
How can I break away from this disillusion?
As an illusion is featured at my disposal

I Kindly stay quiet
Restless within this internal sleeping giant
Inner lava struggling to stay down
As these words try erupting onto this world
While rebuilding a peak of greater things to come

So, What if I was louder?
Not over the top, But just right

Destroying any self-doubt
Amongst the past, the present and future
Using philosophy the right way
As it shall be the warm light at the end of this cold dismal tunnel

Heart set at ease, Mind over matter
These feelings and thoughts becoming cohesive,
Traveling beyond dead ending proclamations
Bringing forth an inner being stronger than ever before

I am a lover, a fighter
A calm innovative Man
Striving to better my survival
As I go beyond any limits created
Cleansing any past devastation
As misery dies by my hand
As I prospect life
Dreaming of having four aces


I have no Queen to hold
But that is fine
Because I have myself to love
As I take in all of the beauty that surrounds me

This soul, my soul
Is stronger than ever before

I can share my love now
Share it like I have never shared it before


I am finally finding clarity
With my heart, mind and soul

Doubt shall never take control of me ever again
