Mortal Struggle

Something is not right
I am sure 
or I am delusional paranoid
hard to say which one it is

mind won't let me rest
heart ready to explode
or implode perhaps
hard to say which one it is

Immerse my senses or run fast
numb my senses or pretend
feel so alive, oh the pain
am I really alive, oh the pain

moments of bliss, welcome breeze
agony, misery, masochism in the same vein
bound, trapped yet freer than ever
loved, accepted yet lonelier than ever

count my blessings they say
flickering glow of a firefly
hope and despair
light and dark

mortal fight with mortal dilemmas
immortal path to immortal ideals
limits of body and limits of mind
limit transcendence, limit my life

soul free of vessel, I seek
pure consciousness 
devoid of pain
pure love, hope and peace incarnate
