Laying wide awake in the late
hours of the night.
I can't sleep because I am scared.
They say monsters are what we should be afraid of.
In reality, the monster lies inside every single person.
The monster is our minds.
My mind is constantly keeping me up late,
my thoughts are making too much noise.


Why are some people so damn irresponsible?
How can a person screw over a person
who loves them more than
they love themselves and would do anything
for them?
I don't want to grow up.
Why are my grades so low?
Why am I so lazy?
Why can't I do anything right?
Why couldn't things have turned out different for us?
This stress is going to eat me alive.
My thoughts are running through my mind.


I am a prisoner of my own thoughts.
I am forever thinking of things I want to forget about.
My mind seems to keep
all that needs to be forgotten in its pocket,
and all that needs to be remembered,
my mind throws out.


I can't concentrate.
When people speak to me,
I see their lips moving,
but dont hear their voices.
I hear mine inside my head.


My thoughts peck away at me,
like a vulture pecks at a carcus
of a zebra.
I am forever trapped inside of my mind.
