Poem Title:
Poem
The mind can feel like being in prison with no where to escape, Some times feeling like you're going to break. Constant thoughts that you have no answers to, No one understands what you've been through. Looking at you all crazy when you speak your mind, Just starts an argument every time. Mentally you're dying and you're brains on its last breathe, Thoughts consuming like cancer that spreads. Trying to let them inside your mind so they'll see, What you go through every day and why it hurts emotionally. Our thoughts make bring us hardship, They can also ruin relationships. Make you question things you normally wouldn't, The mind makes you do things that you know you shouldn't. Thoughts keep us up at night because our minds want rest, Every day is like being put through a test. Can I handle it or will I finally crack, The stress of it all feels like a heart attack. Begging and bleeding that this pain goes away, It takes so much out that it makes you unhappy. It's the inner demons that are hard to fight, Trying to see things in another light. Exhausted by what you can't seem to repair, The minds a fragile thing when you're feeling despair. You're at war with yourself blocking out things that are just in your head, Trying to calm yourself so you can go to bed. Our thoughts can put us in a danger zone, If we dwell on things and let our minds roam. A damaged mind takes time to heal, To pick out what is fake and what is real. Listening is what helps ease the mind, All it takes is a little understanding and words that are kind. March 28, 2014 ~ The One and Only~
