Words On a Page

Words on a page That only mean something to me But these thoughts inside my brain Have me losing so much sleep So many hours I lay there awake Eyes open in my bed My head replays every mistake I wish I could let things go And finally get some rest But I always get so restless When I start to feel depressed I can't smile or laugh I barely eat My head spins in circles Like tires on an icy street My family tries to help me But I won't take their advice The only thing that makes me feel okay Are these sad words I write I can't express my feelings When I'm talking face to face I wish I could slow my mind down I'm a broken record tape If only I could turn it off All these thoughts could go away I could finally fall asleep Instead of obsessing over Words on a page
