Lost In My Mind

Lost in my own world

So hungry

So thirsty

Where are the animals?

Where is the water?

Where is the light?

There isn’t one star to guide me

The sky is full of faint lights

To far away to help me find my way

No hope of ever seeing the sun again

It is a world of black

My mind is making me do without

Maybe it wants to kill me

I do not know

I do not care

Let it bring starvation

Let my tongue swell with thirst

I will fight with my last breath

Struggling against my mind

I will not let it win

I cannot let it win

I am stronger than anything my mind can create

It can keep its barren world

It can keep the dry river beds

I will survive despite my mind

I will survive
