Confused

Sometimes I lie awake deep into the night.
I try to navigate my thoughts.
Getting rid of the wrong,
Holding on to the right.

Every now and then... I can't tell then apart.
It's unfortunate, really. I know some are bad
They need to find a different mind.
Let them get a new start.

Maybe with a new mind they'll be happy.
They could live in a world of bliss.
They could actually be what they want to.
But they don't understand. They're with me.

I should look within.
Maybe it's just me.
Is everything I thought wrong?
Is there a way for all to win?

Nope. Not here.
I'll swallow these thoughts,
Keep them clutched close to my chest.
Once they finally rest, my mind can be clear.

I won't let them die,
I'm not that cruel anymore.
Dreams should be allowed to be.
I won't let them out. I've found my lie.

My confusion will carry on,
Until I can figure it out.
They fight in my brain.
It's one of those things. No one has won.
