The truth is I'm afraid of my own mind.
I'm afraid of where I go
It's like a minefield in my head
Part of me wants to be forgotten
But also remembered for, not necessarily surviving my CPTSD and psychosis but that I can inspire
I'm drowning in my mind
The fears I can't deny
My soul is flying high
The dice they rolled
A very long time ago
You won't find me in the present
For I linger in His presence
Some body pray for me
I need to succeed in finding inner peace
Most of my friends have vanished
In the midst of psychotic panic
The one I loved is a psychopath
I'm dragging my heart to the hearth
But I'll pray this pain away
Oh I want to fade away
My truth has been denied
I will write it here
I'm innocent of any accusation
I sought out a friend only
Only find she's vicious
Now I'm conscious and awake
My truth will make the globe shake
Are you ready to hear it?
Cause I wanna tell it
I don't want no charity
I'm trapped in a spell I cannot break
My mama tells me I should breathe
But theres a breath enveloping me
I wanna protect my mam and family
But I can't help feel like a sacrific
To make them seem good
And I maligned
No matter what I've done
It's never been good enough
For my mam
I say pray my pain away
Cause I can't love a narcissist
One who sees me as her extension
Oh there's so much tension
Mama, I forgive you for failing me
But I beg you let me speak
Can't you see your pride is where the devil hides
I've died a thousand deaths
And don't none of you forget

Some say I'm a vixen of lust
Maybe I have a few screws loose
I want to claw all the way in
Where does it end?
Where does it begin?
I'm a human rag doll in the depths
Of thought and scheme one can dream
Fifty seven seas are torn at the seams
At the end souls will scream and teeth nash
You drove into my brain
It's a megaphone let it rain
Love is sealed in metal glove
Of iron steel in an alcove
Take my tears and taint with His love
Oh how you tease me
There's a black dove on the window sill
Take your toxic desire and rotten will
