Mind games
Once again on a silent dark street,
I sat in the corner where no light could reach..
Helpless I looked at the sky above me
Whose darkness was also filled with a silent scream.
Just like me the clouds held back,
And waiting for someone to hold them close..
They were also heavy with pain,
Only we understood each other
Completely tired and drained..
Filled with thoughts of anxiety and pain,
I was waiting for one last chance
to breathe freely again..
I finally let out a loud scream
Just loud enough for the clouds to hear me...
Then came down pouring rain,
And lighting bursting with flames..
They silenced my scream
To let no one hear
What goes on in my head when no one is near..
Slowly I went back to bed
With the monsters smiling in my head..
