My mind is a place that is my own
Somewhere to hide from this cruel world
To be alone with myself in a space so small
Where no one can hear me at all
Any innocent person might think they understand
Society believes they know what happens
But it’s only a sly illusion
Used to cover questionable thoughts
My mind is a place that I call mine
Not his
Nor hers
Simply mine
My incoherent observations would make no sense
So, I’ll just save the world some time
Unless you’re willing to listen
To every disturbing idea that rises
Maybe you can see that this person is actually me
And I’m hoping you’ll stick around no matter how crazy I may sound
Because my mind is a place that is my own
There’s this wonderful place that is my own
And almost nobody has ever been shown
