In darkness I shiver
In the warmth of my room
Surrounded by evil
In the same sheets I knew
My mind remains cold
Afraid of what is no more
Knowing I'm stuck
Trapped in the clutter
In the labyrinth of my mind
I know I'm not getting freed
There isn't far I can go
Every turn runs to boundaries
My fears
I ruin new things
With irrational tumbling
I cannot escape
Paranoia and my mind
My body isn't me
My cells are alive
Trying to eat me
So the skin will survive
Why is is just me
In this bed in the dark
I can't see the monsters
Hiding and not far
And maybe the reason
They are blind to me
Is because the mirror is broken
From promises unspoken
But I can't hide forever
In the darkness of my mind
And demons come out to play
When the thoughts won't go away
And I fear the words
Of my empty mind alone
And I fear that it is going
going
gone
