The Mind’s Tug of War
In this room, I come to escape
But now it’s becoming a mistake.
Anxiety takes over,
Depression one step under.
My thoughts scream so loud,
Sleep doesn’t seem allowed.
All this makes me sick.
But overall, I’m just ill.
Ill inside my head… a head full of demons,
And memories of ghosts.
Imagination is all that saves me now,
From the world so unknown.
