Understand Me

A Poem

Please listen to my words

as they aren’t very clear

you have to read between the lines

to understand my tears

I regret a lot of things

this life has not been easy

for I do not get any breaks

my brain is going crazy

It is an outer body experience

I can not describe in words

one day it will take me to a new getaway

I am so tired

so emotionally drained

when will I be normal

this is all so unexplained

I do not have the energy

to keep up this fight

I have lost traction for this last flight

today I’m feeling in edge,

will tomorrow be the same

please tell me all this is just a dream

I feel my sanity working again

there is no light at the end of this tunnel

I am only falling through a tunnel

everything I do is judged by sinners

what will we say to these beginners

I never wanted this life myself

I did not think I would be here today my brain takes over my entire soul

if you wake him up, the devil will play
