"Urges"

I cant seem to stop
It haunts me eveyrday
Chaos inside my brain
How do I keep it at bay?

It starts off slowly
Every morning when I wake
It builds and builds til noon
Somehow I must find the break.

By two o'clock I cant keep it in
The words start to surge
Forcing my hand to write
Forcing my brain to purge

Purging of thoughts that I withheld
Allowing new thoughts to fill the void
Making me realize what I want
Unveiling what I have truly enjoyed.

The ability to feel
The passion for life
Empathy for others
And love free of strife

The passion fills with fire
Burning desires of the past
Without fuel it needs to thrive
It gets smothered much too fast

That's what I know I deserve
A door opened has set me free
New desires and adventures
Will strengthen the fire in me.

That's why I do what I do
The reasoning is quite plain
Im not crazy as you may think
Im only trying to sustain.

Maybe I wont try to quell
The voices in my head
I'll listen to what they say
Portraying them with #2 lead.
