My mind is a monster

bleeding images into my brain

making me believe

the world is out to get me

I'm the sole survivor,

target painted on my back

and everyone's got a gun pointed at me

watching me fall and laughing

when I try to get up again

I pick up the pieces and they

knock them out of my hands,

daring me to defend myself

so they have reason to attack

my mind makes me believe

I'm the only one on my team

and it's hard to argue

when your brain is screaming

they can't be trusted

you're better off hurting

than being hurt
