Unconquered Thoughts

Memories galore
Some old, some new
My mind’s so filled
I have no clue

A few seem bright
A few others dark
My soul attacked
With a piercing spark

Found and lost
Love, sorrow and glee
A complex life
I wish I could flee

Surrounded, squeezed
A lifeless heart
Sorrow seems, in life
An incessant part

Wary and tired
I stand confused
Fear and doubt
A life so bruised

Far, wide, thoughtful
My mind flies
Unconquered wishes
the conscience, my heart defies

Buried needs,
At times, myself I resent
In me I search
Some peace and content
