My Mind
My mind is the loudest place
I collapse from the noise sometimes
Yet my body rejects it
It never ends
Some sort of hypnosis
A form of mediation
And aggravation
Nails on a chalkboard
Piercing to my eardrum
But I sit numb-
Among a sea of my own agony
Inside a speaker,
So I can’t hear reality
It’s unfair, unjust and unsettling
I wish I could forget
I wish I could time travel
And sometimes
I just want a hug
To feel your loving arms
But then I snap back to solitude
Daydreaming of golden days-
Days that were taken for granted
Years that were put off to the future ones
And I cave
I lose all over again-
Losing finger after the other
Digging my nails into my palms-
No one notices
And there are times all I want to do is scream
Instead with poise
I search for a chuckle-
Some sort of life through all of this darkness
Some sort of heaven in this living hell
And yet I sit there silent as can be
There’s not much that comes out anymore
Not that it ever did-
