My Head
I laugh…..
Looking at me right now
You’d think that I’ve lost my mind
The tears are staining my face
Restless nights
They lead to bags under my eyes
The blade to my wrist
Fighting to resist
The demon in me screams
He destroys my hopes and dreams
Never thought I’d be here again
I stare off and think
No one would ever know
Thoughts in my head are fears
Fears of things that haunt me
Temptation to end it all
Only to rid myself of them
Those thoughts in my head
This poem is about:
Me
My community
Our world
