Trying to clear my head

But my thoughts are too loud.

Like the rays from the sun

Blocked by a rain cloud.

I just need to sit and think

But too much is taking place.

In the busy world of "me"

That is right behind my face.

I'm trying to fix this puzzle

But the pieces just won't fit.

And just when I think I've got it,

I check the pieces, they're not it.

I need and want to talk

But no one else is there.

I can talk to anybody

If to listen they would dare.

I would talk to myself

But that would scare me and I.

So I throw around my thoughts

As the time passes by.

Inside this little me

I'm not happy. I'm not sad.

So much complexity

In every thought that I have had.

Trying to grasp the moment

But get lost in every one.

Wish that I could understand

This person I've become.

Invisible to some

Laughing stock to the rest.

I can not win for losing

Not even at my best.

I think highly of myself

Yet my esteem is so low.

I used to love being me

But where did that me go?

I can't look in the mirror

Makes me think to deep.

The reflection that I see

Makes it hard for me to sleep.

Maybe in the morning

I will be alright.

If I could just clear my head

By the end of the night.
