As I lay alone in my thoughts
I can only think of the solitude of the dark
The stillness of the air
In this intertwined stair
That is my mind
Staring at the sky hoping to find
Something to hold on to, some kind of light
A vault of empty memories
With no meaningful entries
Inside my mind
Starring in the mirror I see a hollow stare
An emotionless face, no spark, no flare
A sunrise, a sunset... monotone
The sound of every day... monochrome
All in my mind
Tormented by the impotence of thought
Holding me down, not letting me up
All in my mind tells me to surrender
And inside my mind all I see is a pretender
That is my mind

I can definitely relate to this poem. Sometimes all the turmoil I feel is really just in my own mind and isn't as exaggerated and twisted as it gets when it's trapped in my head. Great job expressing this feeling! Thanks for entering.
