My mind spins like a hurricane in flight

Words collide like stars in the night

Situations tangled

A maze in my brain

Past and present merge

It's a wild terrain

Memories flicker like a broken reel

Experience cuts deep

It’s all too real

Voices whisper stories in the breeze

I chase the echoes but they never freeze

All at once

My world’s ablaze

A kaleidoscope of endless haze

Thoughts collide

I lose control

Spinning circles

It swallows me whole

I hear the clock tick but time won’t stay

Moments vanish

Slipping away

I hold on tight but it pulls me in

A tidal wave of where I’ve been

Close my eyes

Try to still the storm

But chaos is where my thoughts are born

It’s messy

Loud

But it feels like home

A crowded mind that’s never alone

I step in the room it’s a quiet kind of loud

Voices hum a tune like a distant shifty crowd

Their words are a maze I’m caught in the stew

My heart whispers softly they're not for you

Eyes dart like sparrows searching for the

ground

A spark of connection but it fades without

a sound

I laugh at the jokes but the air feels askew

My soul keeps on saying they're not for you

Not for you not for me

Just a storm in a shallow sea

I’m a fire they're the dew

It’s clear as day they’re not for you

The air feels heavy the smiles are thin

A play I’m watching but can’t join in

I try to rewrite the script but it's true

No matter the scene they're not for you

I dance on my own to the beat of my thoughts

The crowd spins around but I’m tied in knots

Their rhythm’s a puzzle my heart won’t construe

A voice deep inside says they’re not for you

I trust no one not even my face

A stranger in a crowded place

The mirror laughs it won’t agree

Who is this man supposed to be

It’s rather confusing being me

A puzzle lost without the key

I speak in riddles hearts don’t hear

To others I’m just strange unclear

If only they knew what runs inside

The chaos where my truths collide

A hurricane my soul’s disguise

Behind my eyes a storm resides

I walk the line between the real

A void too deep for words to heal

Each thought’s a shadow dark and wild

The echoes of a restless child

They call me weird I let it be

Their words don’t hold my gravity

I’m not a star that’s meant to shine

But maybe I’m a different kind
