My brain warps around every little thing around me, A glance that didn't sit right, A tension in the room, The words I should have or could have said. My brain keeps twirling, spinning, never-ending. Why do I always imagine what could have been? Why is my brain so fixated on my past that it can not move forward? Forward... Never gonna happen with a brain like that. It's not like it does not know, It knows that glance meant nothing, That no one hates you, That there was nothing I could have said, That it is in the past and it's ok.. Is it?? My brain does not think so.. No, my brain is not only stuck on the past, It is worrying about my future too. Imagining what I should do if or when something happens. Some say it is a defence mechanism, To me...it's a trap. A trap that has held me captive for so many years, A trap that has never lost its sickening grip. How do I escape?? I sleep, Hoping that it will consume my worries and make me feel ok, Hoping that in my sleep, my insecurities would go away, Hoping that when I wake up, it will feel like a clean slate. But when I wake, it feels like a weight has been put on my shoulders, The weight of my brain falls upon me, The weight of the past four years is thrown on me the moment I open my eyes. My brain returns to its self-destructive loop. Yeah...my overthinking brain.

Overthinking...
Staring at my ceiling, I can't help but listen to my feelings. But there are no thoughts Its like I have no parts. But you belong to me! I shouldn't need a key! My possession is you my dear thoughts and feelings. If here, why do I not understand? Do you want us to disband? If you're me, and I'm you. Why do we not speak the same language? Do I lack the knowledge? Not taking me for worthy? Oh, I beg you to have mercy. But you're me, and I'm you. So, I should be merciful with myself Umtil I have mastered my own spell.

Insidious night. Encapsulate me forever, I beg. The word 'depressed' is trite. Just like love, I feel more than I can say. I hide behind apathy Yet my emotions control me every day.

Emotion(less)
Forgive forget regret Somethings are just too hard to forgive Some people are just too much to forget I'm ruining my life and no one understands why. But i do i just can't seem to tell you why But tell me am i the problem to why this **** happens I mean you seem to make it out as it is my fault The **** that happens you don't know the half of it yet you don't bother to ask Not that i would waste my breath in telling you what i need you to hear No no you only want to hear what makes you happy, so have you thought that maybe just maybe this is why i don't want to hear from you? Come on you have to question it. Yes i listen to what u want me i agree so you don't get mad at me not because i agree to what you say. Okay so we have talked about the first one forgive Well that was leading up to that Forgive ( definition to the word forgive, verb stop feeling angry or resentful towards someone) But what if you just can't simply forgive. forgive part 1

forgive forget regret
I can't control your life You can't let go of mine Waiting Hating What's left in my mind You seem to cross my memory If I choose close my eyes Forever I'll see What's next on the other side Yet I'm left in ponder It's only half passed nine But it feels like a century Like the beginning of time Since you said goodbye

beginning of time
You're gone You left me Now I'm standing here Lonely You don't own me But you showed me How to be A little happy I'm sorry For being sappy But you moved on To someone sadly I tried twice And again nothing A blank stare In silent suffering Not left to die But surely rotting Away my mind My heart unloving You're gone You left me Here Lonely

NIGHTMARE
My mind Spins On an axis of my creation, It twists, So very fast, With not a single nudge! It whirls In its circles For no reason at all. Pulling, Pulling. Pulling! A string tied to its base It weaves that string tighter, Until there is no more string to weave And my twirl must cease. But end! End it shall not! The string has broken, and my mind has won at last! Maybe the spin, Ever growing in speed, Can at last go in the right direction, Before I fall off my axis And tumble Down down d o w n d  o  w  n

My Mind
Its 3AM, and i´m all alone nothings around me, just the walls of my empty room. I´m sitting in front of the Window,                                                               Just my silhouette, black and grey. Listening to the songs we used to hear together, but now you're gone, and i´m sitting here all alone on my empty Throne Hope your journey goes on and on, maybe you will notice where you belong Watching outside, the rain keeps falling down just one word to describe it Drown Behind the window I see a lonely soul, like yours, but no peaceful mind at all just full of useless things, despite everything, I still think about it Now the sun comes out, and steals the sadly beauty of the rain away There's nothing more to say, just one simple way to keep you in my memory I have to catch every raindrop that falls down on my skin, I am looking into the rainy clouds, just the see your teardrops falling, falling into my Soul

Hello, unknown Soul
It’s an odd romance, Yet it felt so right, The charcoal that paints the pristine whites. Like the scratches and scores across the flawless skin, The smell of graphite sunk in her skirts, A touch so rough, yet she yearns. The creator smiled in delight, The satisfaction shown in the depths, From the soul the words formed, Strung to a garland that met the lead. The curves and lines the charcoal drew, Made her quiver in pleasure and pain. The creator dwelled in these sounds and sights, Of the romance between his pen and paper. Like water for a parched throat, The words soothed many souls.

When I Write..
The thought beetle. There is a little thought beetle deep within my mind; He is going around, searching for a rhyme. He digs out my unconscious thoughts And helps me to write another line. When his work is done, he hibernates And I sit back and smile. The ladybird flutters around inside my head; She is in search of the pages, I haven't written yet. She zips and darts, flitting from here to there; She is always in a hurry and she is a nervous wreck. The worm is just turning another corner, in my brain's maze; He's having a look around, to see if there's anything I need to say. Anything I forgot to mention; he will find what needs to be said. The slowly moving worm is lazy, but he is useful in his own way, (C)2016 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.

The thought beetle
My mind wanders Leaving a part of me behind, catching up doesn't seem to stop- it's inevitable Is has a life of it's own Nothing seems to stop the constant hunger of wanting- Wanting. Wanting it's own mind aside from I. How is that even possible? Clearly i am over thinking. -M.

Thoughts
I wouldn’t have thought it I’ve never been there So I had to talk about it With someone who had Sometimes I laugh without humor That’s all you can do Letting it go without anger That’s how you keep a friend The sun’s one less problem now I had to work my way around I once loved it too much But that sin is ready to forgive I like psychedelic butterflies They can see the air they dodge Murals welcome them home It’s up to us to remember them I’m going to let you see I’ll stand there while you tell me What is it that I do to you Those are the eyes I will believe There’s a cure I have in mind I swallowed the pill before we met Remission is not enough I’m never going back there again It’s a song always in my head I let it happen but I don’t know when I hear it all the time Not the same but the feeling instead I can fade in and out If you catch me on the bend Just don’t let your ego cry about it It’s important to know where I've been She cried how can I do that I asked do what She said you know what I mean I said when it wears off you won't ask I wish I knew how to take you there It's a lonely valley of discovery I can't speak to you while the music plays When I tell you my eyes will then become yours

which is it
my mind is not mine I cannot see I’m held within a cage of lost liberty my days are not my own them seem to be controlled by people far too wealthy I'm told my nights are filled with dreams that warn of time fleeting of heart ripped and torn a body that longs to dance airborne and move to express itself with no one to approve or ignore I look with admiration at dolphins presentation of joyous jumps and gleeful communication and see their lives free of limitation as a talisman of my renunciation with closed eyes I lie still and look behind to see all that fills alone and all one my chains are broken and on the cliff edge I jump to be awoken

Freedom
"The difference between you and me is when you wake up your nightmare ends, while mines begins." Thinking is like being trapped in your own mind with everything you ever had a problem with, left to dwell on it until you think your going insane But again you are only confined by the walls you hold yourself

Rain clouds as far as the eye can see. Water pouring from the sky, drowning me. I close my eyes, and shut out the dim, pale light. I give into my sorrow, my starless night. My eyes fill with tears, but they are covered up by the rain. The blood drips from my body, and the water worsens the pain. The pain shoots through my body, the worst pain I've ever known. And i let out a scream of terror, the most weakness I've ever known. I wait for myself to drown beneath the tide. This time, why even bother to ask why? I'm so far out to sea not a soul would hear me. But then i remember, my mind is the sea. My thoughts enclose me, trapped with no way out. And then i stop crying, it's already too late, not a thing to cry about. My eyes slowly close as the world fades away. This time I'm asleep for good, I will not live to see another day. A bittersweet smile finally crosses my face. The muffled "goodbye" and I'm gone without a trace.

Stressing
I’ve got a mission To reach the destination I was destined to go on a journey, A journey which is unreached by many, This is the journey of my life. I shall walk down the empty streets Through the boulevards of broken dreams To the successfully riches This is the journey which takes years to reach, The journey of my life. This journey is not an adventure, It is a mental journey through nature With the care & support of my family and friends, I believe I can complete it with love in my hands… So journey with me Let’s push forward… There’s nothing to rewind, In this journey through my mind.

The Journey Through My Mind
How should I say this I'm a bit strange? Nope, not a bit To be exact. Just entirely strange. But the strange is my nature. The weird is my home. Insanity is my sanity.

Insanity is my sanity
As it lingers across the sea. Are we staring at the same shooting star? Do you feel the very same wind that blew upon my face. How about the rain that started to fall? Or maybe only in my mind... Always on my mind...

My mind now...
My mind is frayed Making me miss the days I used to self-medicate Didn't have to hesitate Those days are far away Sobriety making a lengthy stay And it makes me manic Paralyzed in an unending panic Honestly I feel like **** Calm and composed for a bit Then hopelessly falling Substances are calling And it's ****** up That I'm stuck up Left confused and alone Not to mention dangerously prone To hatred and deprivation Brutalized on the verge of starvation I'm on a downward streak Feeling more and more weak So my pen bleeds words That no one has ever heard
