The Tunnel

Little does my mind rest
Wailing and scraping at the walls of my brain
The feeling of being lost forefront 
Guiding lights leading me astray
To find the end an impossible outcome
Yet lying down to die not even a choice

Trying to break the patterns I’ve set
Failing to change who I am
Maybe I don’t need to change
Just find a way to accept myself
Though my mind may never rest again 
I refuse to let the static kill me anymore
