My mind is a messy bedroom
It’s an endless void of anxiety and gloom
Littered with the words I never said
Drawers ready to burst with all the thoughts inside my head
My insomnia is thrown across my bed
Anxiety covers the cluttered ground
Depression is found all around
The smell of old rotting dreams fills the air
Thoughts are scattered everywhere

My sanity slowly starts to unfold
I’m Tethered to my bed like my safe haven in the storm that is the world
But it’s just a mirage my demons follow even in my bed
You can’t outrun your troubles when they’re confined to your head

My mind is a prison
I can’t move i can’t see I’m losing my vision
Serving this life sentence in my mind for a crime I didn’t commit
I wont admit or come to grips
With the fact that my enemy is me
My anxiety, depression and insomnia won’t just let me be
I may be alive but I’m already dead inside
The old me has died
I’m Held captive within my own mind
Chained to the wall of depression and anxiety I built
Nothing grows here my dreams all wilt
Im bound to the confines of my own mind
My sanity is slowly slipping out of my grasp
I’m just sitting here as life goes past

My mind is a tidal wave of pain
I’m drowning inside my own brain
I’m suffocating  in a sea of my own tears
But I can’t stop crying I’ve been doing this for years
My anxiety is crashing around my brain
Im engulfed by this excruciating pain

I have forgotten what the surface looks like
I’ve been drowning for so long
Swept away in a sea of despair
It’s Unfair I’m Tossing and turning
The waves pound me in my sleep
I’m screaming and suffocating but no one can hear a sound
I cant remember when I stoped swimming and started to drown
