Write Her

[this one's about my mental health and the bad side of it, but personified]

I have a riot in my mind
She's loud and unpredictable
She tells me to sleep
She's always awake

I have a riot in my mind
I don't want to open my eyes
She says it's not my fault
I want to lay in bed, or die

I have a riot in my mind
She cares about me
She tries
She always makes it worse

I have a riot in my mind
She's all my problems
She's all my pain combined
I don't think she means to hurt me

I have a riot in my mind
She's scary and violent
Sometimes she makes no noise at all
She simply is

I have a riot in my mind
She tells me to get help, or die
She wants me to write her
She also doesn't want to be alive

She is a riot, 
an unexplained dream
I don't know why she's here
I wonder what she means
