None of my friends
Know I write
To ease the thoughts
Constantly streaming
Sudden waves
Changing tides
Crashing against my skull
Thoughts and thoughts and thoughts

Nobody knows
That I’m behind bars
Caged in
Peering through the tiny
Cell window
Incarcerated
Within myself
With just my ink
Stained hands
And the music that follows

None of my friends
Know the beat my heart drums
When I feel the words
Seeping from the page
Or from the screen
Etching my mind
Twisting and turning
A maze full of mirrors
Or a bulldozer
Carving a path
Through to my soul
Feeling feelings of feeling
Like no one is judging
Just me and this melody
