The words live in my head
Until I sit down to write
Then I can’t seem to remember
The thoughts that kept me up all night
I feel them inside me
The weight that they hold
But I know once I write it
The story has been told
So I hold it in for a while
I keep it to myself
Because I know eventually
It’ll be a story forgotten on my shelf

So many thoughts in my head
But where do I start
The anxiety in my mind
Or the pain in my heart
I’m facing this sober
No more letting it linger
The feelings I bottled up
I only traced with my finger
These two months by myself
I’ve felt so alone
Confined in these walls
That I learned to call home
I’ve been working on myself
Because that is what I need
Because I’m the only one
Who can set myself free
These memories I replay
I won’t let them be my prison
So I’m writing it all
Until every thought has arisen
My mind is so full
It’s going to burst
But I won’t bite my tongue
I’m putting myself first

I feel my heart
Trying to beat out of my chest
I want more from life
But I don’t know what comes next
How easy it would be
For me to disappear
How long before someone notices
Is one of my biggest fears
