Feelings of confusion,
Swim around my mind.
I cannot tell what's right,
Or what's not worth my time.

Things are to be said,
But never to be done,
They take over my head
Slowly one by one.

It builds until there's pain,
Then there's nothing left to do,
But to sit back and relax
And let this monster tear me through.

It penetrates my chest,
Explores deep into my soul,
Breaks the lock to all my secrets,
To accomplish it's final goal.

I attempt to break this curse,
By swallowing my fears,
But I know there's no way out,
So I stay hidden behind these tears.
