In My Head

Mind with chains.

Locked in craze.

Words are pain.

Feeling shame.

Silent screaming.

Breathless breathing.

Restless sleeping.

Feels like bleeding.

Seeing you inside my mind.

Running circles around the clock.

Time is still but never stops.

Counting tears.

Filled a well.

Body weak like a shell.

Minute, hour, day, and week.

Mind with chains through the night.

Being Me

Waking up with no one to talk to.

In crowded halls is what I will walk through.

Conversations with no true talk at all…

As the time passes, I continue to stall.

Aching and crying

Screaming, denying

Smiling and crumbling,

Through textbooks I’m fumbling…

Trying to regain the focus I had.

Though through distraction I still feel sad.

Depression in ravels of surfacy smiles.

Going out of my way for others by miles.
