Going Through Changes
My mind is going through changes
Like a broken thermometer's temperature ranges
I had to break out of my mind's cage
To sit here and write a new page
But see the days pass in a haze
Because life is really just a maze
It's amazing and soul shattering
When anxiety keeps battering
I just want to shut off my mind
So I can say I'm doing fine, you'll find
But now I have third man syndrome
As I'm slowly guided back home
The walls are slimy and broken
With memories awoken
There's a leak in the roof overhead
Splashing on to a forgotten bed
In this place that I left behind
Yet it's all I have to remind
Myself how hard it really was
To evade the fluorescent buzz
To stand in this dilapidated place
As reality looms before my face
There truly is to be no going back
So I have a mild panic attack
This is such a familiar script
But my will to go on has shipped
So I shift through the trauma
And decades of drama
So my mind can go through changes
Like a broken thermometer's temperature ranges
