Thoughts Seeking Voice

Found is assurance through certainty, simple truth
Mind often alters purity in view
Contemplation begins, thoughts manipulative in nature
A reflection not faulted, a future worth measure
Alleviate the burden, mind’s medium of choice
Imposition of effect upon thoughts seeking voice
Action void responsibility, infectious to the mind
Morals, pride and value run rampant, lost in sight
Expectations become me, increasingly complex to fight
Immunity out of reach, to this virus I concede; comply
Reluctant addictions substitute lost self-control
Innocence affected, self-pity, self-woe
And what is forgotten, no longer my truth
Despite changes within, only through difficulty found soothed
With ease in this moment, inevitable strain lies ahead
Addicted to thought… figurative gun to my head
