Never Ceasing

Every day I lie.

I fake every second

With a smile and sincerity.

But what do I really feel?

Even I don’t know.

My mind is chaos

Spiraling and storming,

Never ceasing.

Forget about dreaming

Because your thoughts are your nightmares.

Never ceasing,

Your doubt and worry,

The feeling of constant failure.

Knowing that you are being given everything,

But none of it you want.

Being stuck in your habits,

While you must break out

And find what you actually want;

Your desires

Your dreams

The knowledge of which

Is unreachable.

You know everything,

But nothing.

Are brave and fearless,

But completely weak.

Have the whole world open to you,

But have closed off everything.

What do I have?

I have my mind

And the chaos within

Never ceasing.
