Twisted
Personal thoughts tangled like tumbleweed
Remain Silent noise to others ears
Causing tears to fall one by one
Like a old leaky faucet
Because of fears and unwanted confrontation
Causing the heart to twist like a pretzel
With its vessels constantly intertwining
Causing something like heart burn
Because the heart is in a state of catatonia
And doesn't remember where things went wrong
Glancing in the soul of the mirror
Wishing someone else face would appear
And take on the pain and confusion
To make things easier and take away the worry
And having just a few moments of mental clarity
Before the wishing hits a dead end
As the thought flood back in and thicken like caramel syrup
And the crying goes from drops to raging streams
Causing the heart to lock up and become cold
Building up a barrier
Causing something similar to the reconstruction of the Great Wall of China
Dismissing ones self from that state of catatonia
And to the realization that nothing comes easy
And for things to get better u gotta face the shadows
And burn them out with the light
