Delusions of the Mind
this urge inside
Its not my plan
It whispers in my ear
Ideas that I’d rather not hear
Soft and slow
Until the point of no return
I place my nail upon my skin
Jagged and able to pierce my skin
I fall asleep
And the pain is gone
Hours lonely
I cant feel the same
No one knows what its like to feel
This urge inside
The stress I feel
The scars I hide
I only want what’s best
Locked away some where
Deep inside my heart still beats
The rhythm of my heart
Is off beat with my mind and soul
But I keep on keeping on
I wish this nightmare
Would just go away
Go back
To a place where I love
Go back and see my love
I try so hard to feel better
To get well
But my universe is fractured
My mind is indignant,
As I lay me down to sleep
I know the lord
Is helping my soul to keep
