Unfamiliar Territory

So many feelings bottled up inside

And I always feel lost

And I try to hide.

Try to run away from all the fears

I try to get distracted and think

But somehow still end up in tears.

My mind is a maze

A game I don’t wish to play

Unfamiliar territory

And rarely acts gay.

There’s no map to connect,

There’s no story to tell

And whenever I enter

All I want to do is yell.

But no one can hear me

For they don’t have a clue

What goes on in this head

And why it’s so blue.

There’s a war inside me

And it never stops.

My veins scream

My heart drops.

And just like a bubble

I’m ready to burst.

And people who have this feeling

Know it’s definitely the worst.

The battle is constant

And continues to grow,

Until that one day

It will finally blow.

Maybe that’s when I’ll be free,

Finally away

And the thing I’ll remember

Is that first clear day.
