It's All In My Head
I am vomitng words on a paper
Each dry heave gets me closer to exhaustion
But I keep going
Everything is a mess
And only the pen and paper know
So I scribble words as if on my death bed
Furious like a mad scientist
For hours this torment goes on
And I cry while I let out my troubles
I keep a cycle of anger, sadness and self pity
This wheel turns till finally I sleep
Lost among papers is my body
Smeared with ink and tears
I know when I wake up, I'll burn those papers and let the fire take my burden
