Something has been scratching at the back of my skull It's just been sitting there for way too long It yells, it whispers, it's become a splinter in my head. Something told me I was happy, so I believed it I was certainly happy once before, but now, I get an uneasy feeling like the happiness will quickly fade Something told me to go away, so I stepped to the side I shed my tears, I pored my heart into my writings I sat there in silence, waiting for my broken eyes to focus Something told me to come back, so I walked towards you I tried to smile back, but I am greeted with distraught eyes and a face I well remember It's a face that I used to wear. Could it be that you may feel the same? Something told me I was confused, I'm not sure what's next my car has broken down in the middle of the freeway They all speed along while I am screaming, "Wait!" Something told me I was sad, so i went away I tried to talk, but they gave me no solutions They just ignored my words and said, "Be happy." Something told me I was scared, but why? I don't want to sit in the corner of the universe I just need some help while I figure it all out. Something has been taking my sleep, I'm done with this But as they examine my head, they'll chuckle and say to me; "It's absolutely nothing..."

Something
Something has been scratching at the back of my skull It's just been sitting there for way too long It yells, it whispers, it's become a splinter in my head. Something told me I was happy, so I believed it I was certainly happy once before, but now, I get an uneasy feeling like the happiness will quickly fade Something told me to go away, so I stepped to the side I shed my tears, I pored my heart into my writings I sat there in silence, waiting for my broken eyes to focus Something told me to come back, so I walked towards you I tried to smile back, but I am greeted with distraught eyes and a face I well remember It's a face that I used to wear.

This is a sentiment to how I am sometimes depressed over nothing and how i think I'm bipolar
