Stuck

Disturbing images swirling around in my head
Wishing life was as simple as it seems
Fighting demons in my soul
Anger and misery becomes my companion
Seeing red trying to fight through these feelings
They say breathe and it will pass though it never does
Being tortured day in and day out
No sleep with paranoia, a recipe for disaster
Take your meds they say just to become a lab rat 
Side effects messing with my head
I do not know which is worse
My demons or the meds
Still stuck my own head 
Not moving
Not thinking
Only feeling 
Laying on my bed
Only silently watching the disturbing images in my head
