Analysis of Prisoner of My Mind
Elizabeth Roberts 1987 (Lansing)
A raging war inside my head
Thoughts consuming,
A prisoner.
Worries wandering
Problems blooming
Nothing is really wrong
It's all so confusing
Slow it down, hit pause
Try to rewind
Too late all memories lost
Hit play try to make sense
Overthinking
Always analyzing
Causing issues
Guided by mistrust,
Alone forever.
A Prisoner in my own mind
