In My Head

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

In my head, I see myself as lonely, Tattered self image dangling from a pole. Unsure what is to become of me, my life, my mission In my head, I see you as prey, frightened, hamstrung, defenseless and I am the beginning of your end In my head, I see them as fools, jumping through hoops like trained animals Mindless thoughts, deeds, actions In my head, I see myself as alive true survivor of the world with scars to prove it. In my head, I see you as a victim stalked by the masses Persecuted for nothing In my head, thoughts swim in a swift river, forever colliding forever moving, forever drowning....
