Mind's War
Behind the bone that is my skull
holds nothing but a darkness dull
screams and laughter ring
and the thoughts the voices bring
creates an uneasy rest
and I am ruthless, even at my best
as I paint a mental picture portrait
all that is discovered is more terrifying than torment
behind my eyes are skies of black
that only show me the qualities I lack
within these skies
planes fly high
leaving me to only battle with all my might
blocking out the noise from the outside
doesn't cancel the callings of the inner voices in which I abide
I try to find a break through
a small hole or even a crack
but all I am left with is not the faces but the backs
every image played
each tear that was made
the ding of each bell
clambering my mind and wanting me to yell
but I remain silent
because in the quite is when I am most violent
my eyes will blink
as I try not to think
my head will burn from the sensation
only causing me to give into the temptation
the fading light turns dark
as I listen to the ticking clock's mark
I cannot win anymore
I can't take what further lures
I need an end
because this mind of mine is my only friend
I can't get past the noise
to even speak up and have a voice
I need a way out
if only I could wander about
without my brain in my head
but then that would cause me to be dead
even that seems satisfying
now there are thoughts of me dying
when will this sentence stop
where is the period that ends this slop
since life won't end on it's own
I guess I have to disable my own bones
no one knows what I hear
no one knows what I fear
but now is their chance
now they can take a glance
they can see why my heart beats twice as fast
why I always feel as if I am last
as I show them what's in my mind
who knows, they may all go blind
from the terror that takes place
from the terror that takes place
from the black that is hidden behind my face
I lift my hand to my head
my fingers are made of lead
I hear the click
with one minor flick
and all has disappeared
the voices, the hatred, the thoughts
you'd think there be blood
but there was not
for I had none to shed
because it had been past shed within my head
no one cry
no one blink
this is what is best for me
no more battles no more wars
this is who I am suppose to be
a wonderer with no brain in it's head
because with my thoughts, even you would rather be dead.
