SILENT THOUGHTS

There's a tug of war in my mind over ethics and morals-

deep enough to spoil

the very values i was spoon-fed

 

Misled with good intentions

chaotic confusion, I think I need an intervention

 

Because to be inside my mind is like a labyrinth,

trying to figure out if what you see is real or just a myth

 

And everywhere you turn is like one big contradiction

with every piece to the puzzle missin'

 

And only to me does this all make sense

storing neatly the disorganized mess in my head

 

Completely doubting all that I've every known

even questioning things I was told to just leave alone

 

With the thin line of my sanity quickly vanishing

reading peoples minds and letting it get the best of me

 

They beckon misconceptions to what they think I cannot see-

will I ever overcome this, or will I let it be the death of me?

 

 

-Barbodi
