Clouded mind

The fog of unsolicited thoughts thickens quicker than reason thaws.
Hesitant heroes enter on person-hood's plea
to attempt quiet
to cox a calm
to translate
to impose order
On the legions serving selfishly-
Fighting for the freedoms found in chaos.
Words repeated and created anew
Filling space
Tightening
The mind sits helpless
Staring blankly at the nothingness
Praying for even the illusion of order.
But prayer cannot penetrate this condensed thickness
Merely adding to the fray
Lost among competing silences
Tied to the itch of discomfort
Bound to a battle whose only victor is time.
