There's something rattling tat tattling
Something Ringing
Shaking around in my ear
Buzzing in my brain
Ticking on my tongue
I am alone in my head
No one else sees the world through my eyes
Sometimes I wish I could scream but it's no use
I am alone in my head
Those who teach me to fight battles in my mind
call them intrusive thoughts
No one else hears them
I am alone in my head
It's not always so bad
My mind my not have door
but it does have a landline
with a curly off-white cord mounted on the wall
My one defense is tearing myself away from battle long enough to answer the phone
