What's In Your Head
How can you run from what’s inside your head?
How can you neglect the abusive thoughts
Those dark thoughts
That spiral straight down
On an unfathomable slope
How can the sun keep spinning
Yet some people’s world’s have been flipped-
Robbed-
Cheated.
How can the sun still rise-
With all of her empowering beauty
All of her hope she provides
All of the happiness
How can real-life feel like the worst nightmare
And the clock just keeps ticking
A ticking time bomb for your emotions
The trouble is to rebuild yourself
Find the light, you lost
Find something to hold on to
And when you want to cry,
Let it out like an ocean of roars,
Until the hollow cave in your chest is bleeding
Let it out so you can heal
Let it out while you’re in a forest
On a mountaintop, away from the city lights
Notice how nature remains,
Yet you actually shed off your worries,
But if you look closer
You can see the trees rings
How much has it really seen
How much living they are
How much life they contain
And I guess that’s where I’m left
Stuck in darkness,
Half in light
Because when we look up to the sky,
I can’t help but feel alive
