Issues Abound

In my head issues abound

Each day new ones are found

There is so much I want to say

Before anything slips away

In my head issues abound

Some days they heavily compound

They push me in many a way

Seemingly a new direction every day

In my head issues abound

Some simple, others profound

I wonder what role they play

As well as how long they will stay

In my head issues abound

Making my mind throb and pound

Causing the edges of my being to fray

Presenting the world in tones of gray.
