Stuck in My Mind

No one will ever understand how I feel

My parents tell me that I have no appeal

They say I should be stronger

But it’s been one big fight against this monster

I’ve been hurt down to the core

I’ve failed hundreds of times before

I failed so bad that it left me sore

I fight so much inside and nobody knows


Because if they did they wouldn’t see me as there own

I would be a false disgusting undertone

I’ve been focused on mainly staying away from sin

The glass I’m standing on is very thin

I wish everything would stay the way it’s been


I don’t know what I want to do

No wonder I’m a major mess too

No one believes in me

I build my own self esteem

But everytime I do It seems

that i should give up and just scream


and tell myself

I just need to beat myself

I’ve been trying to read myself

But everytime I do I feed myself

I feed myself all these false things

That make me want to be what everyone else thinks

But maybe I don’t want to go down that path

But if I left it, it would leave them in the past

And be hard to move on from all that mass

That weighs so heavily on my mind that could be running too fast


Everybody expects so much of me

Thinking I shouldn’t be

able to make a choice

I always have to fight so much for all of my joys

But it seems to me that if they could see that “gee maybe he wants to be what he wants to be”

That it could change what they think of me and possibly set me free

I thought things could be nice

But instead hatred came back and stabbed in the back with a knife


No one will understand this pressure

That I have dreams and goals that are impossible to measure

But instead they got in my head

and made me something that i want dead

I keep so much inside

There feelings I try to hide

I’m sorry to those who get that bad side

I don’t try to cause all of these fights

I just have feelings that slip out and slide

Instead of me being true and tried

I really want to be but I abide


But Im quite confused

I even have been talking to god

But it looks like I must be just a little odd

To be putting up such an insane facade

Because I don’t know if it’s my brain or if it’s god

yeah I’m afraid

Of which I’m ashamed

And that I have to deal with what has stayed

It left me stained

And now there’s no escape


A sense of loneliness flows through this. Honestly pretty well written this song describes the pains of fights and pain I was stuck with. Endless battles with myself and others. Confused and having to bottle up my emotions for the greater good. This whole time just wanting to be accepted and able to open up. Almost refreshing that I’m here right now sharing my words to those that care. For those that are here with me. Your diving into the deep end of my pool. Your in my deepest and darkest corners and caves.

The longest stretch of the book, and the loudest. Most of these carry a date and an album.
