Stuck Inside My Own Head

I'm stuck inside my own head.
Don't hear a single word you've said
Crying. Trying, Lying. Dying. Falling.
Hold me up,  then bring me down again.
My mind is controlling me. Trying me. Binding me.
What can I do about it?
Tell me, what can I do about it?
I scream. I shake. I cry. I break.
Anxiety takes over me.
I start to doubt all of me.
Who I am. What I want. What to do. Who to be.
Help me see.
I said help me see.
I'm so blind to what's in front of me.
Get me out of these prison bars.
I can't see behind all these nasty scars.
Self- doubt. Self-loathing.
Depression. Confession.
Give me new eyes.
Better yet, give me a new mind.
A change of perspective.
To face my sanity and don't let it take over me.
I'm more than my faults and more than negativity.
More than the X's behind my eyes
and more than my various personalities.
You would know if only you asked
but instead I'll keep putting on this phony mask.
To hide everything from plain view.
Oh man, if only you knew.
