The Back of My Mind
I bring it with me everywhere I go
But the desire to write won't grow
It's in the back of my mind
It's a heartache
Still held in place by that dark snake...
In a generation full of mental madness-
Where reason can't overcome sadness,
It's in the back of my mind
It's a darkness
And everything that's evil- feigns harmless
The reminder of who I used to be
Still follows behind me effortlessly
It's in the back of my mind
But my breathing-
Takes effort where effort is fleeting
Can we break this pattern of tortured souls,
Where a desire to change won't grow?
It's in the back of my mind
And it's growing
While life races on, mine is slowing
