An Unbroken Mind

172

I yearn for a god
A savior, some salvation
From this poisoned mind

I yearn for a balm
To spread on my damaged brain
Healing disquiet

I yearn for a life
Untainted by my constant
Trepidation, and

I yearn for a peace
Unattainable, I know
Yet I do still yearn

For renewal, for
A rebirth, a second chance
To be someone else

Someone free from the
Constraints of anxiety
An unbroken mind
