BURN (Wattys2015?)

my head

my head feels like

it's going to explode

pounding, pounding, pounding

throbbing

it hurts

but i close my eyes

screw, screw, screw

them tight, clench them shut

i can't look at the world

i can't face the light

because the darkness inside is crawling out

and i don't know what light would do 

i can't think

i just want to sleep

or take something

or smoke something

just do something

to alleviate this pain

pain means you're alive

but i don't want to be alive

i want to be asleep

(and yes, i mean dead)

because if i'm not numb

i'm on fire

and not the good kind of fire

something is misaligned in my mind

the gears are jammed, they don't work right

something is trying to force it's way out

and explode my head in the process

my brain aches

it's tired, i'm tired, we're all tired

and i'm stupid to complain

that it's not fair that i have to be messed up

and get migraines, too

mentally is where all my trouble begins

and mentally (click, boom) 

is where all my troubles will end
