Tangled Reasons

I think way too much

But if my mind went silent

Would I feel like enough?

Or would I be just like everyone else...

Oblivious to the mentality they give up?

A part of me loves the voices in my head

I’m never really alone

Though my thoughts fill with dread

It’s better than being empty

Or filled with things like regret

Maybe I’m just too aware

Of the things that haven’t

happened yet

Maybe I shouldn’t care

About what they all said

Maybe I’m coherent

And they're the ones that are deaf

I do get lost in my mind's mess

But the untangling enlightens me

While yours is just a straight thread

Simplicity can be a beautiful thing

No need to flee

...Or feel you’re better off dead

But where’s the excitement in no guessing what is next?

I’m not saying the demons are my best friends

I’m saying if I lost my questions

Would I be as intelligent?

Would I see the world at its full magnificence?

Or would I look past all of it and be in an ignorant bliss?

I don’t want to miss things that are hurting in the world

Although it’d be easier to forget the turmoil

Nothing is solved by ignoring the problem

So pardon me for wondering if my own, could help solve them
