The mind is a trap ( for anyone having mental health issues)

The mind is a trap ( for anyone having mental health issues)

The mind is a trap

Sometimes in the brain

It contains so much strain

From inside it starts to drain

My head feels like it's maimed

Some days it's unbearable

Like it's very tight and insensible

Thoughts I create are horrible

The feeling is so so very terrible

Overthinking again

My mind is on a bender

Losing it again

My head feels like it's in a blender

Some of the time it will pound

Thinking is erratic I have found

Firing like bullets from a round

Making me insane from the sound

Penetrating deep inside my skull

My logic and reason have turned null

As I rock back and forth and I start to mull

My capacity to hold a thought is now full

Overthinking again

My mind is on a rollercoaster

Losing it again

My head burns like it's been in a toaster

Some of the time I'm asleep

My dreams make me fall quite deep

Quickly turning to nightmares that leap

I wake screaming and shouting holy - bleep!!

Often I'm caught off guard thinking

Thoughts that make me feel like I'm sinking

My speaking sounds like I have been drinking

In between the ears like a time bomb ticking

Overthinking again

My mind is out in space

Losing it again

I fear that I'm going to lose this race

Tinkering with my head

Lingering inside my head

Triggering what has spread

Holding on by a single thread

I may not survive

I may have temporarily been dead
