My mind



Dark clouds fill my head-to where I can no longer sleep in my own bed, and to the point where I just wish I was dead, my flesh will consume me until its well fed.

These demons we fight, sometimes keep me up at night, my mind is confused from the wrong to the right, this is a battle I would wish no one to fight.

I'm at a place I never thought I would be, and why is it that only some can see what I see, when will these demons just let me be, there is only one person that can help me break free.

I cry out to the heavens up above, screaming and crying God show me some love, show me again how to fly like a dove.

Its amazing what one person is capable of enduring, from the pain and the hurt to the lessons of learning, how long will my broken heart be yearning.

Will this stage of my life ever end, or will I continue to live make belief and pretend, I think all I need right now is a really good friend, Lord I sent you a message but it don't seem to send.

I know this is a battle that with God I can win, he is the only way to come back from this world I've been in.

I miss my family and just want to go home, but this mind of mine don't leave me alone.
