Inside My Mind

Slipping through my fingers

Falling in the cracks

All my plans and promises

I'm scared I can't get back

Fires licking at my hopes

Unhappy, choking schemes

Stealing away all my sleep

Making nightmares out of dreams

Terrors rising in my chest

Trying to keep at bay

Whispers saying they know best

As they steal my love away

Friendships crumble into ash

Betrayed drips from the smiles

Never knowing who to trust

As the journey gains more miles

Hope has fled away from me

Disasters looming nigh

Thoughts scream out in the night

Please don't let these plans die
