My Tormented Mind
by Jeffrey ParrenOver the years
my tormented mind
of self infliction
and peer driven daggers
has led me to momentary
factious uprisings
when my body decides
where I go
what I do
how it happens
because instinct
is more natural
than the reasoning mind
of a human
that is easily driven insane,
when "reasoning"
becomes a loosely used term. 06/28/2007 Author's Note: Dictionary.com word of the day for 6/27 is factious. \FAK-shuhs\, adjective:
1. Given to faction; addicted to form parties and raise dissensions, in opposition to government or the common good; turbulent; seditious; prone to clamor against public measures or men; -- said of persons.
2. Pertaining to faction; proceeding from faction; indicating, or characterized by, faction; -- said of acts or expressions; as, factious quarrels.
