Thoughts

I thought I had friends, 
But true, I don’t have many

The ones that I do have
I don’t treat very well

I live in this world
With hope that is missing
When I am the problem
My mind is closing

I don’t know why I feel this way
I’ve had a pretty darn good day

But sometimes mi sing
In my life
Something blatant
As a knife

I feel as though
My thoughts are frightened
Running away until
Im alone
My thoughts have 
Abandoned me
Im forced to 
Think of more thoughts
Thoughts like:
Im alone
Nobody really likes me, they just pretend to
I am a bad person

My thoughts seem to close 
Around me
Trapping me
Until there’s nothing
Left

Im trapped inside my
Own mind
I can’t think of
Anything else
Anything good
Anything
