Isolation

The mind can be the lonliest place It's just like me It eats, it sleeps, it breathes But unlike me, it's free Im locked, Im haunted Trapped by the chains of procrastination And I promise you, it doesnt let go Ive been wrongfully imprisoned Wrongfully accused My body hurts as if I've been battered and bruised But in the end, I know I'll lose Im fighting a shark underwater The army on the border I want to go away, forever Maybe it can solve my pain Am I clever? I'd like to think so But I've done questionable stuff My hands are full of blood Because my whole life, I've been rough The beauty of Imperfection Made me want to be neat, maybe section My work, but my head goes in a completely different direction I know exactly what I am I need to prove to everyone that this is not some useless sham Then BAM, I lie awake My sheets soaked, Im grabbing on my pillow for hope I have a text and missed call from my mom saying I just got smoked This life is no joke I tried to get up and dust myself off A little chuckle and a cough As I glance down, around my leg, I see a cuff The bottom part of my foot is red, or should I say crimson? Who was I fooling I always knew I was imprisoned.
