Escaping Thoughts

The mind is the prison
Of a human being 
Trapped in a cell 
Called low self esteem

This is where 
All the war begins
Locked in a world
Of mental sin

Discrimination
Isolation
Lost
Alone
The battle of the mind is a fierce war zone

Trying to escape thoughts in the mind
But they seem to be stucked on rewind
A prison of thoughts for eternity?
When will I escape this mental slavery?
But lord here I am 
I give my thoughts to you
Cleanse me and make me free with my mind renewed

Escaping thoughts
Break away 
I want to be free 

A new mind 
With new thoughts
A new life 
A new me
