mental illiness

Self Care
Psychological problems are as real as can be
and they can put you in places your mind can't get free.
Free from anxiety, depression, hurt, anger and pain

    All I see now is embers of a flame I once knew,
and tortured memories of the things we did do.
You were my beacon in darkness, my guiding light,

    There's a block inside of me,
that will not let me be free.
I say things over and over again,
as my words melt in the wind.

   Don't talk to me, just pass me by,
I used to have friends, now I don't try.
That way you won't have to judge me when I reveal myself,

   Lock me away. Lock me away and swallow the key,
then pump tons of pills and poke needles in me.
Watch my each and every move,
try to tell me my thoughts aren't so smooth.

Looking forward into the past,
I see events that will always last.
Sleepless thoughts held in day dreams,
slumbering visions with hellish screams.
