Introspection


Calling everything into question
calls everything into question.

What truths are even left
after you dig too deep
delve into the recesses
of raw emotion
to discover
there's an underlying rage
to it all.

It's a voice that threatens
to scream out
in frustration
in pain
in anger.
It's an innermost child
overwhelmed
neglected
forgotten.

You can't mute the voice
in your own mind
no matter how much
you try.

You can't stop
the stream
the steady spiral
the intrusion.
