Poem: With eyes closed

So I've decided
I'll close my eyes for a while
Not in delusion but
so I don't have to look upon
All the chaos I have wrought

Theres so much screaming
Of what if's and should be's
So many worries for a nature I wont change
So much strife in their judgment
In guilt and in failure
But I only want quiet

There's a war in my mind
And it has become my priority
Let the world around me burn
I just don't want to destroy myself
Not again, not when there's still a hope of peace

But whats the harm, if I'm already broken
What is consequence to madness?
Does it even acknowledge anything more than this?
The definition of suffering is not unique.

I don't want to be the sum of my demons
But I don't want to have a benevolent heart
That will freeze and thaw and ache
So in the end I can only observe
Try to see a care or a purpose in the world
Try to feel what is truly behind these words

The bridge is on fire
But i'm neither willing to fight
Nor step off the clif-face
So I suppose I'll just exist for a while
Lost again in limbo
But that darkness consumes so much
And nothing makes sense
