broken record minds

broken record minds,
they tell you to come and play.
what they won't tell you is how
after you're there you can't change.
you try to run
you try to hide
but you don't know
you are running from yourself.
you know where you are,
so you can't get away.
oh, my darling, don't say you'll play.
for so many have been tortured by nothingness that is everything.
you didn't know that it's lies are endless,
and that it's never satisfied.
it keeps on promising things will be okay,
if only you come and play
for such a short while.
to get out of this maze,
you've tried to say no,
tried to turn away.
you thought it would be easy,
that you could quit any day.
but you just trapped yourself in your own cage.
you have the key,
if only it were that simple.
it's nothing,
they say,
'how cruel they are,
for this is my world,'
you think,
'but I know they are right.'
but this, one day will be the reason you shine so bright.
my love,
say no to that broken record mind.

Have a great rest of your day!! :)
