Alive Inside My Mind
It's all in the music that plays in my mind I’m writing out the lyrics and pushing rewind all this time I’m walking down these halls that have no end The ceilings are changing texture and the colors form a trend these pictures hanging on the walls depict my scattered life they're drawing out my memories my smiles as well as strife no one seems to be here to help me through this maze The pictures are drawn so perfectly i'm easily amazed it's obvious what turns were wrong and which chances I might haveplayed I was suffering from a sickness that I once thought was a faze the pictures never end here, they're everywhere I go I’m watching my life fall apart, as if I didn’t know the tears are falling freely now, the pain has reached my chest I’m tearing at the silver chain that hangs around my neck running through these pictured halls, looking for an end the turns are going faster now, I’m noticing a trend the picture frames have gone away with mirrors in their place I’m seeing myself everywhere, the tear stains on my face my hair is wild, my clothes are torn from trying to escape IfIdon't find the ending soon I know I’m going to break I'mliving withinmirrored plates, sleeping in their light looking for a puppateer to show me which door's right I fearedin realityI'd burnedout my minds candle The knob turns easy in my hand, I’m clinging to the handle bursting through my sanctities a smile upon my face my sweet goodbye turns to hello - a bitter after taste the music plays again now, the lyrics loop around i'm screaming out themelodyfrom down upon the ground the lyrics are burned into my mind i'll always hear them play The words play out clearer, each adjoining day I’m traveling ahall filledwith all i've ever feared with pictures depicting everything that wasn't always clear and all this time I’m walking downthis lanethat has no end the ceilings are changing texture and the colors form a trend when I find the mirrored halls I’ve ceases to be a mess I’m smiling through insanity each trip I’m frowning less this story that i'm traveling once I called my own if I make it out a live - i'll be sure to let you know.

i mostly write slam poetry. i love to perform it live. i\\\'m a passionate speaker and i love the challenge of getting the emotion across. as it is, slam poetry is hard to understand on the page sometimes. I\\\'m going to have to rely on you...
