thoughts

How dark and lonely my brain can be. 
How overwhelming my feelings can be.
Trying to find some sort of peace 
in the void that encompasses me.

Mind racing and filling my head with thoughts,
frightening me with all of it's terrifying haunts.
And with past failure and pain, to me it taunts.

Long since the tears and whailing has dried,
And now I have no where else to hide,
Because now all those pains are bound up inside.

All alone with no where to turn,
And I find my thoughts still burn,
And I wonder if I will ever learn.

Why must I always be trapped within my thoughts,
No matter how many times, 
with these ghosts I have fought?
And no matter how many times 
with these help I have sought.

Still I am alone, trapped inside my thoughts.
