Array ( [sid] => 20107 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Darkness of a Broken Mind [time] => 2003-07-08 02:05:00 [hometext] => Umm.....thanks to Wild_heart_of_fire for helping me title this (my twin, Riki), that can be the hardest part of a poem, lol, so, plz read and leave commentz! Thanks! [bodytext] => Fear lifts inside me
My heart pounding in my chest
I think I’m going crazy
Can’t go on living like this.

Retreating faces, in the dark
Moving shadows through my head
Hearing voices echo through the night
As I lay here in my bed

Rattling doors, banging on the wall
These sounds penetrating into my soul
My mind is breaking, I’m starting to fall
My carefully guarded life is spinning out of control.

Losing myself in empty thoughts
Trying to fill an empty heart
Hiding alone, my breath short and fast
Hiding from the enemies that haunt me from my past

I fear I’m really losing my mind
What would my family do?
If anyone could see in, what would they find?
Would my insanity prove true?

Life’s an endless cycle
The sun sets and rises
At night I’m faced with my true self
At day hidden with many disguises

So welcome to my life
Where demons lurk and voices sound
Where pain can drive the mind to break
And light is never found.

Darkness of a Broken Mind

My heart pounding in my chest

Retreating faces, in the dark

Rattling doors, banging on the wall

My mind is breaking, I’m starting to fall
My carefully guarded life is spinning out of control.

Hiding alone, my breath short and fast
Hiding from the enemies that haunt me from my past

Where demons lurk and voices sound
Where pain can drive the mind to break
