Battle In My Mind Poem by Dwayne Bailey

Battle In My Mind

Rating: 5.0


I have found myself in a battle,
deep within my mind;
A battle of good and evil,
one thats ruthless against one so kind.

I want to do the things I should,
the things I know to be right;
But when I try to do these things,
in my mind there is a fight.

The battle is often brutal,
my heart is battered and sore;
My mind is going in circles,
like that of a revolving door.

I find it is hard to stay focused,
on the tasks that lie at hand;
Instead I tend to just watch the clock,
like I'm watching the hour glass sand.

I pray that I may find some peace,
deep in my heart and soul;
I pray the lord will give me strength,
and some how keep me whole.

For I feel like I'm being torn to pieces,
and my body is falling apart;
I pray the Lord will keep me safe,
Mind, Spirit, and Heart.

The poem was really good. The meaning it gave and they way when i read it the words fell together proudly. It gave me shivers, i must say.

My mind is going in circles, like that of a revolving door...........wonderful depiction of heart and soul on the rune of passion, yet both are jusxtaposed while doing good, mind is scalar where heart is a vector in the plexus of dynamics, heart still restrains the mind in doing wrong, yet it guards trudging the path, eloquently narrated yet ingenious,10+, thanks for sharing

Life is so difficult that it is very easy to get confused and battle good and evil. God in your heart is a big part of going in the right direction, in my mind. Good luck and God bless! Great poem, a '10! ' for sure. Warm Wishes, Marilyn
