Alone in an Empty Room

Alone in an empty room
No way in no way out
I feel trapped but not by what you think
An invisible enemy is here
My eyes scan to see what's not there
Panic takes hold my breaths fighting
"Hello."
I freeze my body stiff I start to shake
In that moment the enemy is clear

My mind is the killer
I can never escape
I feel kidnapped with every breath that I take
It's dark in my thoughts
It's like I'm never alone
I can't find safety in my own head

I run to a wall banging for help
"You can't get out. You can't escape."
I try to ignore the voice
It starts as a whisper then grows to a shout
My thoughts are dark
My mind is dim
I'm left to listen and let my mind win

My mind is the killer
I can never escape
I feel kidnapped with every breath that I take
It's dark in my thoughts
It's like I'm never alone
I can't find safety in my own head

Haunting thoughts circulate my brain
I can't make it stop im going insane
I start to stumble and fall to the ground
I scream to drown it out
"You can't get rid of me."
My breaths become short
I'm being choked by my mind
My thoughts suffocate me
I struggle to stay alive

My mind is the killer
I can never escape
I feel kidnapped with every breath that I take
It's dark in my thoughts
It's like I'm never alone
I can't find safety in my own head

Silence not a sound
I open my eyes
I'm standing alone in the middle of the room
I see myself staring back at me
A mirror shows my reflection
My steps stagger to it
As I reach it the silence breaks
My mind is at it again
These harsh words these cruel thoughts
Tears stream down from my eyes
I try not to believe these lies

My mind is the killer
I can never escape
I feel kidnapped with every breath that I take
It's dark in my thoughts
It's like I'm never alone
I can't find safety in my own head

I can't take it anymore im going crazy
My fist shatters the mirror
Shards of glass shower the room
It's not empty any more
"You know how to get rid of me."
I stare at the glass surrounding me
Thoughts buzzing through my mind
I can't control my action
I reach for the glass
Resting in my hand is a weapon
"You know what you have to do."
I put the glass to my wrist
"DO IT. DO IT NOW!"

My mind is the killer
I can never escape
I feel kidnapped with every breath that I take
It's dark in my thoughts
It's like I'm never alone
I can't find safety in my own head

I can't move
I'm struggling to function
My mind is screaming
"END YOUR PAIN!"
