Poems of an angsty teen

1

My head is a battleground..
Can't you see?
It stains my mind
Won't stay inside
Why can't it let me be?

I know I said "I promise"
I promise that I try..
I hate the pain
Drives me insane-
Why can't I be alright?

My head is a battleground..
One loss after another..
But in this war, what's there to fight for?
I can't even talk to my lover..

I know I said "I promise"
"I promise I won't die"
At least not yet,
but with my head
Is it only a matter of time?

My head is a battleground..
Each day I fight to stay..
I don't know when
One's gonna win
And whether I'll remain.

I know I don't have it bad..
My situation isn't dire..
But here I am,
A gun to my head.

Ready, Aim, Fire.
