I try and put these thoughts on paper
Hoping my problems will disappear
What I want to say
I can’t
Digging my own grave I pray
Myself I don’t want to continue to hunt
To myself I want to say sorry
But I can’t
I don’t feel I’m wrong and deserve some glory
There is so much I want to say
The price though is too high to pay
So I just keep my thoughts in a bottle
Pouring out whenever I can little by little
There are people I would really like to kill
Maybe it would make me feel better
But it’s just a thought still
A lot of people have someone they want to shatter
Like me
Just in my mind
Soft spoken and observing jealousy
My words I never try and grind
I feel like digging my own grave
Sometimes I feel I already have the job long done
I don’t care about having to be brave
I made my bed and alone I lay in it as one
There is no genie in my bottle
So my thoughts I put on the throttle
I try and put these thoughts on paper
Hoping my problems will disappear
They just multiply
I wish I were blind folded to a pole
Hearing the bullets amplify
God spare me gently take my soul
God you can see
These thoughts are killing me

I traveled my mind through times lost pages,
Searching my soul through unwanted stages.
Wasn’t me I was seeking
by Boxer Wyze
These thoughts, they move like honey dripped
From knife’s tip pointed down at my breast
Targeting my clenching heart
by Karim Jessa
These are my thoughts.
I am thought.
I am not the brain.
I am fragrance.
I am not the flower.
I am thought.
And these are my thoughts.
by B.S. Hanvey
All in a Minute
Its 3:30 in the morning sitting here awake
Thinking of all the things at stake
I know that I’ve got
