Dreamer

How can I explain to you
What goes on in my head?
All my thoughts come in my dreams
Or lying awake in bed
My spirit is at odds with me
My soul can get no rest
My mind is spinning endlessly
My body withstanding the test
Where can I find peace and quiet
Some time for me, alone
When can I stop running
And call someplace my home
My past is full of demons
The ghosts of bitter days
My present is confusion
The future just a haze
Someday soon a conclusion
The quest will be complete
Will I forever be a prisoner
Or will I be set free?
