Trying to Escape Your Own Mind

Why do you choose to posses me this way?


Why do you torment my thoughts, and lead me astray?


I want to be my own man


No one else, just me...


It's like a devil and an angel on my shoulder, fighting for custody


I want to get away from me, but I feel like it's impossible


How can one be trying to get out of the mindset of itself?


And be so encapsulated in the thought of trying to escape one's own mind?


"Me" doesn't think this way


"Me" doesnt have these horrifying thoughts of being removed from negativity that lies within my own head, since I am put around it 24/7


See I have these feelings of hate


But you will never see it because of the smile I gave


So for now I'll just stay here


In my mind


Alone
