To escape the thoughts in my head
The swirling mess that I’ve come to dread
The innermost demons I chose to hide
From everyone, choosing to dive
I try to escape it, try to hide
From the things I have kept inside
Maybe give myself a chance
By pacing around the room, trying to dance
Distracting myself so that I can survive
The pounding in my mind
Trying to understand why is this happening to me
Maybe read a book or three
Or try escaping my reality for theirs
A much better world to bare
Then the one of my own despair
So that one day I may be free
From these thoughts dragging at me
