Control Room.

I have a control panel,
In my mind,
Many switches and dials,
You will surely find,

Each dial has a label,
For each emotion and feeling,
My dials have gone awry,
Unwanted side effects I've been dealing,

The anxious dial is on ten,
It's been turned up to the max,
No wonder I have struggled,
To just sit back and relax,

In my minds eye,
I reach out and turn down the dial,
Hopefully my control room,
Won't malfunction for a while,

I take a closer look at the controls,
I think the vast control room,
Has short circuited somehow,
So ill fix it so normality can resume,

Happiness has been turned down,
It is now below 5,
Without a little happiness,
How can we all survive?

I turn up that dial,
Make my way to the next,
Self worth isn't on,
It's a button that has been left,

I turn it on and then set the dial,
Put in on the number four,
I don't want too much of it as,
My head would be too big to fit through an average sized door.

I've spent quite some time,
Turning up and down the switches,
I will revisit and revise,
Next time the computer glitches,

Everyone of you has one,
All you need to do is shut your eyes,
Imagine the control room,
And realign all of your dials,

Turn some up and turn some down,
Realign the switches to your internal pain,
Each and every one of us,
Has a control room for our brains.

Light And Darkness

I never liked the spot light. I didn't seek it nor crave for it. I only wanted to be left alone. I only wanted to be at peace. Yet, things happened. The lights pushed through. It spilled some on me.

Final Thoughts

The final chapter: A prelude to my happy ending. No longer bound by the ropes of anxious thought. And No longer a prisoner to my own being.

How Pleasant

Sitting in my room, my blanket covering me like shield from the outside world. I sunk deeper into my mind. Every league of my mind filled with joy and happiness.

Imagination Is Key

Dusk over dawn. The horizon beneath the sun. Waves cascading over the smooth sand. A cave hidden away on an island. Locked away. Hung by handcuffs against the cold stone walls. Welcome to my home.

Corner Of My Mind

I come to the corner of my mind. A place shadowed and black. A baron abyss. No way back. Every teasing turn. Wills me to sanity. A safe haven. Once free. As I tiptoe into lost awareness.

Sunrise vs. Depression

I have a nice room But what does it matter if I don't want to be in there. I have nice siblings But what does it matter if they all moved away and I can't see them when I want.

"What's it like?" I asked, unsure of whether I should say the dreaded word. "Schizophrenia. You can say it, Landon." Ainsley said nonchalantly, as if she could tell what I was thinking.
