Contemplations

Contemplations in my mind -

Their origin remains unknown

A fleeting ghost appearance

Contemplations in my mind -

Overwriting my mind 

with a quiet despair, 

a systemic infection that leaves nothing there

Contemplations in my mind -

Decide the path I take

They ruin resolve 

I deliver a swift blow

Contemplations in my mind -

Make a clean breast of it

I am a sudden storm; 

my lightning flashes fast, 

and my thunder leaves a scar

Contemplations in my mind -

Wrought from gloom or gleam

Becoming who I am called to be

Be it may
