Hiding in a chemical cage
A beautiful mind peaks out silently,
Letting the cage do the talking.

Imprisoned by false, flawed logic,
Tortured by insecurities
The cage has no door

Locked, trapped, forgotten,
The mind withers,
Bids farewell to reality,
Farewell to itself.
Life is overturning at every opportunity
Dumping me in the cold waters of reality
Rent
Beer
Loans
Emotions
Money
Cats
Time
Work
Wine
Friends

I'm overwhelmed
In five years, I hope this **** is long gone
I want my broken life back on track
I want to figure myself out

In ten years, I hope to be successful
Not in the eyes of society,
But in the eyes of myself and my loved ones

In twenty years, I hope to have family
A happy, healthy, loving family

In the unforeseeable future, I hope to pass as a joyful old man
Full of stories of Love, Adventure, and excitement
Leaving behind a legacy for those who outlive me

Tomorrow, I hope to be happy.
I wish I could go one whole day without thinking
Twenty-four hours of internal silence
Internal bliss
No worries
No hypothetical struggles
Just for one day
I love the way you torment me

Every hour
Every Day

A steel trap I cannot escape

Lost
Lost in myself
Lost in thought

I love the way I torment myself

Lost
Lost in thought

I love the way you torment me
It's hard to be me
It's hard to focus
THEY ARE LYING TO YOU
I can never leave myself alone
I can never turn down the white noise
NOTHING YOU DO WILL TURN OUT RIGHT
I know it's only in my mind
But that doesn't make it any less real
THEY ARE AVOIDING YOU
NOBODY CARES
YOU ARE ALONE


I hate being alone
