Moment of Silence

I’ll just take this time for a moment of silence

To resolve my mind’s own violence

The vent isn’t louder than the voices in my head

While lying down as if I was dead on my bed

A deathbed if only I could shut my eyelids

But my eyes are projectors projecting on the ceiling

I’m watching what I’m thinking of

Not knowing what I’m dealing with

Like a deck of cards, two colors, but different faces

I got two sides with different phases

I’m getting a migraine causing a great pain

Playing this mind game is making me insane

It’s a lion that’s hard to tame

I tried to fight it, but it always ends the same

My hands create a crown on the verge of breaking down

Strands of hair keep falling off every time I ball it up

Might as well just shave it off so I have nothing to pull out

But this is just a thought adding up to the thoughts of other thoughts

That I have fought and lost against cause I thought

I will for sure win, but this silence is violent that I couldn’t hold it in

It was a mistake to have a moment of silence

So I’ll just close my eyes and listen to what my mind has to say

To what I have to say because tomorrow is a different day

And another day to do this all over again
