I never knew what it felt like to miss yourself
Until one day I woke up and realized that I was gone
The voice in my head stopped answering my calls
I never knew what it felt like to be abandoned by your own peace
Left to carry the weight of your own mind alone
I turned my own heart to stone and left myself frozen
Like Medusa accidentally stared at herself too hard in the mirror
Betrayed by my own conscious
What do you do when you look in the mirror and a stranger is looking back at you
I am my own worst enemy
I am the knife pressed against my own back
The invisible snake in the grass
But I sit here and blame every rainstorm and cloudy day for keeping me in bed
When the prison in my head was built long before I checked the weather this morning
