A Locked Mind

A locked mind 
No one told me how to turn off your mind
 after a mentally exhausting day. 
No one told me how you can lay there
 all night in doubt. 
No feelings really figured out. 
I could ramble all day & act fine and okay 
Truthfully you’d know no better. 
You’d never know I still cry myself to sleep 
You’d never know the thoughts are killing me
I wandered when I can find the off key 
I wonder what it’d be like for my mind to be blank. 
Honestly, I know I’m not the only one out there struggling. 
I know I’m not the only one out there 
just trying to find the courage to breathe. 
I know I’m not the only one haunted by the past 
too afraid for the future. 
I wish I could meet them, and say hello 
I wish I could tell them it gets better 
That you don’t always feel alone. 
I wish I could convince them that the next breathe doesn’t hurt so bad. 
I would tell them the off switch is inside of your head 
The off switch is right there all along 
You just have to be courageous & strong
Truthfully I wish I could say that in all honesty. 
But I haven’t found the off switch, 
no I haven’t found the key.
