it's difficult to explain the inner workings of your mind when you feel like you're living your entire life floating through time, not exactly here but not sure where conversations consist of incoherent thoughts and words nothing strings together quite like it used to poetry isn't an outlet anymore it's a way of ensuring words won't fail me all the time feeling let down by my own dissonance the inside of my head isn't in tune with the outside of my head my thoughts don't match my actions my words don't fit with my thoughts mental illness or drugs? or what? I don't know anymore, I'm not sure I ever really did I can't get a grip on the world, and my thoughts betray me as I'm screaming my favourite songs from the top of my lungs I say what I mean but don't mean what I say, was I right no? no can't connect to the music like I used to can't feel in the way that I want to numb to everything outside of my mind can't find my bearing outside of my mind safer inside than outside my mind can't get away from the thoughts plaguing my mind stuck inside
