Analysis of My Spiritual Self



Everyday spirits of people follow me
I hear them so much that no one can see
How uncontrollable the sounds seem
Without someone present my spirit is clean
When I close my eyes these spirits are in my mind
During the day they consume my thoughts until I find
The time at night to relax and dream of a perfect place
In hopes that I will live a happly life in the right space
