Episode


It's nights like this Where my mind is a cage My thoughts rattling around behind the bars Negativity Hate Anxiety Insecurity Screaming at my from every angle I can't process my thoughts I can't escape my thoughts And I feel trapped In this whirlwind of rights and wrongs And what ifs And why's And I shut down I don't even have the energy to organize the chaos in my brain And I know waking up in the morning will be hard I know getting out of bed in the morning will be hard I know this is the beginning Of yet another stay at jail in my mind And I don't know how long my sentence is
