Intrusive Thoughts

The subconscious destroyer of silence

The silence I crave never lasts

The whispers of intrusion creep in fast

Exposing the demons from within

Scorching my peace yet again

My brain beats against my skull because something is wrong

The intrusive thoughts are singing their enchanting song

Do the wrong thing, make the wrong remark

Say the wrong thing, hurt everyone’s heart

The Silence I crave is never coming back

Not with anxiety and depression leading the attack

I crave the silence so I can hide

With every thought I’m reminding how my sanity has died

The silence I crave can never last

The intrusive thoughts have annihilated my sanity's past
