Twisted Mind
I'm in limbo and I fear,
my mental sanity is a world away.
Shame floods through me,
for things I didn't do,
for things I've done,
for words that left my mouth,
for words I failed to say
So I swallow my pride back down
to keep with the perpetual
bleeding in my brain and
nervous burning in my heart.
I'm in limbo and I fear
my simmering blood starts to boil
as I'm waging wars with myself
for hopes lost in a blink of an eye,
for dark thoughts lurking deep within,
for tears rolling down my cheeks,
I will it to stay put
so I take the magic pill
waiting for numbness
to send me to oblivion,
into sweet nothingness.
