What's in your head?

I open my mouth,
Wanting to sing along
To the one thing that keeps me sane.
To press keys
And play Oasis.
But then I realize I can't.
No...not that I can't...
Just that I shouldn't.

I try to stay strong.
Because your one needs you now,
They don't have enough to hold you up.
So I write my pain.

I hold my pencil,
Ready to write
When I realize
What I write is going to be stupid and pointless anyway.
This is not poetry and those are not lyrics.

I cradle my guitar,
Trying to pull my way through
When I remember that no
You don't know anything.

What's in your head, in your head?

I can't help but start belting out
My favorite songs
Because it releases what I've been hiding.
When I realize that I forgot one little thing.
I shouldn't.

I try to pull myself together
When I remember
I can't.
And that I'm broken.
And now I have to try to hide it.

Song: Zombie by the Cranberries
