Tension - Drain

Within the walls of my skull

There is a war zone

Conflicting thoughts

are taking over

Emotions run

In every direction

And I’m left as a slave

To this inner tension

They say I’ve got the life,

But all I’ve got are regrets.

It’s a cycle endless

I’m at my lowest and I can’t handle more

Wish I could run, but I can’t find the door

I’m surrounded by filth

Derived from ignorance

No solutions arise from floating in muck

We try to swim

But end up getting stuck
