Poems of a Lost Soul

Branded

When did it begin?
These voices in my head?
I shiver in my skin
As I lay in my bed.

I've got a burning in my heart
And it's tearing me apart,
What's going on?
Somebody call the doctor!

I'm gonna break any day now

Who have I become?
The mirror shows somebody else.
Why am I so numb?
I'm a shell of a person collapsing in on itself.

They're monsters in the night
And they're giving me a fright,
What's going on?
Somebody please call the doctor!

I'm gonna break any day now

I only know where I am,
Not where I've been.
I know I need to scram,
But I can't look within.

I think I'm losing my mind
Because the voices can't be declined.
What's going on?
Why won't somebody call the doctor?!

I'm gonna break any day now

I couldn't find the way out,
So I waited in fear.

I'm now Branded with doubts
That kill everything I hold dear.

It's too late for the doctor

I'm breaking now

This isn't how I expected it to come out, but I'm still quite happy with it, honestly. I'm particularly happy with the spacing of the stanzas. I know it's not my norm, but I just wanted to experiment a little. I also know that my poems always come out dark, if not extremely. I'll try with my next one to have a happier tone, but I'm not gonna make any promises. XD

I do not own the song; the song belongs to its rightful owner, Nathan Sharp (NateWantsToBattle).

I hope you have a wonderful Morning/Afternoon/Evening!
