Trapped Inside My Mind

The breathtaking sea of thoughts
That floods my brain
Clouding my judgement 
And causing severe pain

The whirlwinds of emotions
With heavy and drowning feelings
It invades all of my surroundings
As it fills my lungs with its chaotic waters

And the darkness that swallows 
Me while in my sorrows
The silence it echoes 
While my mind explodes

For a minute, all lays calm
Like the eye of my storm
That longs for existence
My suffers stop and I am freed

But then I wake 
To realize it was just a dream
There is no escaping the internal screams
That haunt me until forever 
Whispering memories of the sting
Causing my ear to ring 
With my heart that aches till I break 

And once again I am trapped in this fear
For I may lose to this everlasting battle 
That I am forced to fight against my mind
And when I lose I may never return
For my happiness is lost 
And my joy is forgotten
The light forever dulled
While my insides slowly die

All that is left is the numbness from the hurt
The tears of the heart 
That leaves me scared
And the person before is no more
