Teenage mind
I am trapped
Not in a cage but my mind
Everything is black and white
But it used to be so colorful
When I was just a child
I see the world in different shades
Varieties of greys
So alone and empty
I wanna cry
But now not even tears flood my eyes
My legs and hands constantly shiver
Yet my mind is blank, no shimmer, no glimmer
Twisting me round and round and round
Hey you zoned out
Sleepless nights, where am I now
Routine after routine I forget just how
How I smile, laugh, or talk
Everything vanishes in the dark
Tired, unwired
Yet I'm supposed to be fine
Nothing is wrong with me, I define,
the constant need to delay
Disappear and go away
Smoke, alcohol drugs I try
To fill the void, pass the time
But I am truly terrified
