In My Thoughts
I'm once again stuck in my thoughts.
as their arms slowly wrap around me,
their grip slowly tightening as I suffocate,
but I can't tell whether it's from that or me wanting more.
My arms cling tightly not wanting to let go of the feelings I know will never come to life.
Though it's scary, I'm stuck in my thoughts.
From walking the ground to riding the skies
I give myself experiences that will never come to life.
These experiences make me happy and give me feelings I've never felt before when in the real world, but it makes me scared to even think of the experiences in the real world.
I'm stuck in my thoughts and it's just where I like to myself until I get too deep and can't tell what's real anymore.
I'm stuck in my thoughts, but I'm too scared to escape.
I'm stuck in my thoughts and it's where I feel safest
so I'll trap myself inside willingly and hope no one bothers looking for me.
My mind is the only other one that understands me anyway.
I'm okay with being stuck in my thought.
Lead me by the hand, bring me in, and hold me close.
I want to waltz to the end with you even if the others think I'm crazy.
They can all call me psycho, but I'm happy being stuck in my thoughts.
All I needed in the first place were my thoughts.

This poem is about how I've become more accepting of myself by using my thoughts as a safe space. Many people, like myself, try and not to stay in our heads and look at the world for itself. Yet, many people find reality as a stressful place that only brings bad vibes. My poem shows how I felt once finding out how to use my mind as a safe and relaxing place rather than somewhere to store the world's negativity. Not many people like sharing their emotions and problems, but our minds can be used to reconnect with ourselves and reassure ourselves. I hope my poem can not only show my own expressions towards my connection with my mind, but for other people to become comfortable with themselves and their thoughts that are always by their side.
