I can't control my brain
The pain makes me feel insane
And I don't need you opions, on my feelings
You can't imagine what it feels like
To wonder why you're broken
You can't imagine what it feels like
To not know why you think the things you do
You can't imagine what it feels like
To have to group yourself, amoung the mentally insane
To live in fear of your thoughts, every single day
Never knowing, everyone elses reality

Your Poem's Voice
Deeply personal mental health struggle; minimal abstraction or universal philosophy
Multiple ideas layered densely: brain control, pain, invalidation, broken identity, isolation, fear
Strongly negative: pain, insanity, brokenness, fear, isolation dominate throughout
Urgent, confrontational tone with declarative force; moderate kinetic intensity via repetition
Approximately 11 lines; falls in 7-15 line range
Mostly plain declarative language; minimal metaphor or ornamentation; direct statement dominates
Pure lyric internal voice; first-person introspection without narrative or dramatic persona shift
