Breakdown

Darkness calls, I heed her cry

I shelter into my mind and hide

I dream of the days of yore

When simple things were not a chore

Why can’t I just lie; breakdown or cry?

This has to be my burden

My curse

Closing it within a door in my mind

I push these thoughts away

From the scrutiny of everyday

Unabashedly, I break this part of me away

This has to be my somber song

MY melody of strings

For my mind only,

Never for you ever more.
