Mind Over Mayhem

Mind in the trenches, shadows calling my name,

Battle with the silence, can’t outrun the shame.

Thoughts sharp as razors, cutting through my sleep,

A war inside my head, fighting battles I keep.

Breathe deep, climb out the dark pit,

The weight’s heavy, but I ain't gon' quit.

Mental storms may flood my brain,

But I'll find the sun after all this rain.

Nights cold, no solace in dreams,

Voices in my mind, tearing at the seams.

But these cracks where light seeps through,

A chance for growth, I’ll see this through.

Mirror reflections, eyes bruised and beat,

But I'm still here, undefeated on my feet.

Scars ain't weakness, they’re maps to soul,

Piecing together, making the broken whole.

Breathe deep, climb out the dark pit,

The weight’s heavy, but I ain't gon' quit.

Mental storms may flood my brain,

But I'll find the sun after all this rain.

Struggle’s a canvas, I paint with my pain,

Turn isolation to songs that sustain.

Voices rise from this shadowed well,

Mental health ain't prison, it’s stories we tell.
