The Unraveling Mind

Have you ever wondered what people are thinking about What’s playing on repeat in their head Their- World The place where they spend all their time Thinking a thousand thoughts per minute Ideas, School, work, worries, Family, thoughts, friends, overthinking, Thinking over and over and over again. All these things pile up rather fast Soon everything is too fast Quite too fast to keep track From the outside A new, shiny, White , Clean ,House But what about the inside? On the outside, everything might seem fine But in reality, what does the inside Look like? Something you'll never Know You will never be able to Never be able to See what someone's head looks like Never be able to walk in their shoes Not even for a second You might think you understand Understand what someone is going through Know why they do the things they do But do you? Do you really ever even know someone? Have you ever thought about that? Have you ever thought about how much you know a person? We all carry bags Things we won't let go Things that we will never forget Some good Some bad Just depends What does it mean to know someone? How much do you really know someone? Everyone carries scars The things that can’t just be washed Washed away Like paint on a canvas It can be covered up Yes! But never gone No matter how many times you try and get rid of it It will always be there Silent We all have a time in our lives Where we realize our words no longer have an impact Our words no longer mean as much as they once might have Everything just one big misunderstanding And we will never really know someone Never really know what they're going through Never really know what they're carrying Never really know their scars Never really know what’s playing inside their Head! Constantly playing. Day in and day out Silent from the outside But on the inside Always playing Always on…never really silent.

Absolutely! That was my main goal in writing this. I've come to recognize how rude people can be, and I believe it's important for everyone to realize that you never know what someone else may be experiencing. Thank you for your comment, Tom! I appreciate your feedback! -R.S.
