Understand That I don't want To be known But be understood how I've grown Quiet at times Giving birth to certain rhymes In my head where no one Was there to see no sun Just the demons whispering in my ear Dancing with the rays of my fear How I find solace in darkness And solitude in my peacefulness How my nightmares keep haunting Their promise so enticing
Understand that I pretend to be busy To ease the loneliness inside of me That I sleep in the middle of something Cause it's the time my demons are attacking How overthinking envelopes Pushes me to slopes Tightening the ropes Taking away my hopes Suffocating Choking Until I'm drowned in melancholia Until I'm consumed by paranoia
Understand That when I say I'm fine I mean I don't want you to bother With me and that I'd rather Deal with this alone Than burden you with my thorns Thorns that chain me Thorns that pain me Then rip me apart Shredding my heart In the process Leaving me lifeless But it's okay It is how I will ever stay Lifeless, motionless, numb Let my body succumb To infinite oblivion Killing my emotion
Understand That even I can't understand How I will survive How I will thrive To live and be alive To not dive To continue breathing To stop from writhing With the pain spreading In my body taking Over me Over is me.
