Of Two Minds

I regret

The nightmares that come

Each night

Filled with torture

And violence

And hate

I despise that my mind

Conjures up

All the feelings

And prejudices

I steadfastly disavow

In my waking moments

To fill my nighttime thoughts

And I wonder

What does that make me

That my mind cannot be true

In darkness

To the actions I hold so dear

In light

We all have demons

I know

That reside within the

Deepest recesses of our

Subconscious minds

Do those that make

My thoughts their

Nighttime haunt

Make me any different

Any worse

Than anyone else
