Prison

Trapped in the prison that is my own mind.

The other prisoners in there wont leave me alone.

They yell at me and tell me I am not good.

So then I do it.

I run and run but cant get away.

The evil me.

The one that is insecure and too sensitive.

The one that will never be okay.

I know what to say.

I know what to do.

To bust out of here and run away.

And yet I cant move.

The right things to say

The right things to do

Are empty echoes

Compared to the shouts of who I am.

The monsters in side of me

I just cant control

You say its not true

But the jury says I must pay the toll

I am locked in the horrid torment of my mind

I cant get free

Maybe its best though

To save you from me

So when you are frustrated

You don't understand

Please know i am not trying to hurt you

I am trying to protect you from me.
