Never been to jail

So why do I feel like a criminal?

Wondering why the pain controls me like it’s subliminal.

It crushes me way beyond critical.

Psychology major and I feel crazy maybe I should go into clinical.

My mind doesn’t seem stable

It seems unpredictable.

One nation under god

Indivisible.

Something impossible if we have one

who sends racist remarks

that show division

Like a math equation.

Seen by the naked eye

In the fire of separation

of which is seen within our visual.

As we head to our destination

without hesitation,

we need not fear obstacles

for they are only typical.

To be honest I’m not very political

I just want the world to unite.

The only reason being

I'm tired of seeing people

Fight.

My girl tells me sometimes

I’m too analytical

and to be honest she’s right.

But if I wasn’t

I wouldn’t have these words.

I wouldn’t have the strength to keep going straight when the road curves

and depression starts to sink in.

knocking me off track

so I start again.

One thing I've learned from this prison

of emotions,

Is that if you truly want change

you must be willing to roll with the punches

and fight going through the motions.

Because if you suffer from low

or high emotion

a lot can be cured if you just put your body into motion.

Within my thoughts, I’m held captive

In my prison.

But outside my comfort zone

I grow. However, only if I make the decision.
