"in My Head"

INSIDE OF MY HEAD,
THERE IS MUCH, TO MUCH, PAIN;
DROPPING THE SORROW LIKE LARGE DROPS OF RAIN.

YET ALL I CAN DO,
IS TO TRY TO MAINTAIN,
FORE SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED INSIDE OF MY BRAIN.

I'VE NOW LOST MY BROTHER, 
MY FATHER, AND MORE.
DEALING WITH THIS; SUCH AN UNSTABLE CHORE.

MY BROTHER BY DEATH, 
MY FATHER TO PRISON,
IT'S HARD FOR THE AVERAGE TO EVEN ENVISION.

THERE'S SOMETHING SO WRONG, 
WITH THIS WORLD WHERE WE LIVE;
NOW NO ONE CAN HELP ME, THEY'VE NO MORE TO GIVE.

SO STILL I KEEP GOING, 
I STRIVE TO SURVIVE; 
'CAUSE STILL I AM CONSCIOUS, AND TRULY ALIVE.

AND I'LL ALWAYS KEEP GOING, 
'TILL THE DAY THAT I'M DEAD;
FOR THESE ARE JUST THOUGHTS IN MY OWN TROUBLED HEAD.

SO NOW 'TILL THE NEXT TIME,
I CHAT TO YOU ALL;
I'll CONQUER MY TROUBLES, NO MATTER HOW SMALL,

             "INSIDE OF MY OWN TROUBLED HEAD"

                                                                      ~BIZZY~
