Get Out of My Head
You're in my head
and I want you out
I can't focus in class
with you here
I'm trying to learn
what life is about
But my mind
and my heart want you here
I clench my fists
and close my eyes
And open
to a piece of my past
Blinking rapidly
until I focus again
I'm glad that day didn't last
But you, your pieces
didn't stay long enough
I pushed that puzzle away
I was afraid of a challenge
I'd never before seen
I wished I could start
a new day
I got my wish
and that's why I'm here
But why
am I still being haunted?
The ghost
of all the mistakes we made
Is sitting in this classroom,
undaunted
You're in my head
and I want you out
I can't focus on life
with you here
You have moved on
so leave me alone
And alone
I will conquer this fear
