The Brain of Men
The Brain of Men will be your downfall
As you overthink and your head fills like a flowing stream
And your body gets frozen up not knowing what to do
And life pushes you to the brink of making a decision quickly
Abundance of words circles your mind like fireflies in a jar
You wonder if it's better to spend that money or not to
What will you do?
As the sweat drops from your head as if it was raining
And your talking to your brain but it won't talk back
Your heart and brain are never the same
Your heart will guide you
But your brain will tempt you
Wonder if it is a stupid idea
Is this gonna get you laughed at?
As your heart starts to race
And you turn pale as a ghost
You hope to disappear
You wanna curl up in a cave in the dark
Away from all of civilization like bat
But you can't because we are human
And as our minds crash like tsunamis hitting land
And our palms turn to oil soaked rags
But We pick ourselves up and continue
This piece represents the struggles that we have for over thinkers like me, it shows the emotions that we fill and the thoughts that spring through our heads.
