Jack 22-43
Not sure what goes on in my mind
Doubt and inadequacy are all I seem to find
I much prefer when my head is quiet
When darkness descends my mind runs riot
My tiredness is not through lack of sleep
It’s in my head and runs far too deep
Voices in my head, they’re loud and clear
Not always saying what I want to hear
At times when things are not working for me
I try to be positive but inside myself I disagree
Sometimes doesn’t matter what I think or say
I know what’s coming is another negative day
Start feeling crazy and get real mad
Retreat inside myself just feeling sad
Madness, wondering if I should carry on
Thinking, perhaps it’s better if I was gone
This poison running around in my head
Needs to be written but not thought or said
