The mind is such a dangerous thing. It remembers all that you have buried. Piled with earth. Knelt and prayed over.
It mercilessly digs up the past, gnawing at your belief in the future.
Its malicious claws rummage the earth, de-weeding time.
And all you can do is to talk to yourself. To hum your favorite song. To recite a schoolboy rhyme. It doesn't help if you switch on the lights. It doesn't go away if you unclasp the window.
After awhile it degenerates into a decibel melee. Your voice - your little voice in your head. Indignant and scared. Trying to drown out a chorus of a million deep and deceptive voices. Deafening in unison. Frenzied in discord.
Then all that is left is to pray. Pray that the night ends and that sleep takes you away. Unknown to yourself... you pray for death.

Have you ever been lost in a different world
Where everything you once knew
Is gone
And you find yourself powerless
With everything that exists
You're numb
Will I ever break free
I searched my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams
If you become a nobody
Blind, to your family
Who would you be?
And life has gone into reverse
Re-living every hurt
Along the way
Everything that you fear is calling you and drawing near
I searched my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams
Wake me up and let's go, yeah
I'm about to explode
I searched my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams

Hello Rohan,
Thanks for dropping by on the CBM blog. Actually there are no immediate plans of holding one, but in case you need more information contact Medha at http://aleajactaest.rediffblogs.com. I was the coordinator previously, but now no more :)
