Thoughts in my Head
The dark and the silence filling my head
And soon replaced with the thoughts that misled
Led me to the cracks and the creaks of the nonexistent presence
Looking every which way to see what doesn’t
What doesn’t appear and what doesn’t exist
And what most certainly only exists in the back of my head
My head scares me away back under the covers
Protecting me from what lies near the others
The others that tuck themselves away in the back of my mind
Revealing themselves once I find myself fine
By myself, I’m left with my thoughts
The ones that manipulate my mind into seeing what’s not
Manipulate me into being afraid of what is just being played
Played like a movie until once comforted again by the cure of the thoughts in my head
When I'm by myself or if I feel alone I become afraid of every sound that fills my head. I tend to think things that scare me back into my bed. This poem is about how my thoughts manipulate me when I'm alone or when I feel alone. If you ever feel alone don't hesitate to reach out to someone because you need someone to cure the thoughts in your head.
