A Locked Mind

A locked mind No one told me how to turn off your mind after a mentally exhausting day. No one told me how you can lay there all night in doubt. No feelings really figured out. I could ramble all day & act fine and okay Truthfully you’d know no better. You’d never know I still cry myself to sleep You’d never know the thoughts are killing me I wandered when I can find the off key I wonder what it’d be like for my mind to be blank. Honestly, I know I’m not the only one out there struggling. I know I’m not the only one out there just trying to find the courage to breathe. I know I’m not the only one haunted by the past too afraid for the future. I wish I could meet them, and say hello I wish I could tell them it gets better That you don’t always feel alone. I wish I could convince them that the next breathe doesn’t hurt so bad. I would tell them the off switch is inside of your head The off switch is right there all along You just have to be courageous & strong Truthfully I wish I could say that in all honesty. But I haven’t found the off switch, no I haven’t found the key.
