Help Me Escape

Feelings

Anger is all I feel.

Trapped in a mind that is not my own.

Every decision haunted by my soul.

My dreams shattered by the rocks in my head.

Confused I scream out,

Frustrated I cry.

How do you go on, in a world where you feel as though you

Are the only one abnormal?

Controlled not by your own heart but by a stranger’s mind.

The brain may be yours but the thoughts inside do not belong to you.

You wish that you could evict them, but you don’t hold enough power;

You are weak and they take over.

Emotions you used to feel no longer exist;

Only those of the stranger remain.

You want to retaliate and take back what is rightfully yours,

But how can you fight with an army of just one?
