A thousand eyes glare at me,
A thousand hands push me down.
A thousand lips scream obscenities
But I don't hear a sound.
Pulled in every direction,
I can't handle anymore.
Hateful words rip right through me,
Strip me bare to the core.
There are people all around me,
Everywhere I think to look.
Cutting me with words that feel
Like knives and nails and hooks.
Complete and utter chaos,
Every word I've never said.
I absolutely hate this place,
This place inside my head.

If only the pain would go. So that I could feel normal. People passing by don't seem to notice. If only the pain would go. Returning me back to the way I was. I don't want to feel like this anymore.

I need to find a place. Where my head can rest. I need to find a place. Where I can be my best. My brain is not my own no more. Clouded with too much stress. I just really want to know the score.
