Introvert’s Lament

I'm really really deep
Deep inside my head
And I can't fall asleep,
The words are crowded.

I can't stop thinking
Can't get out
And now I'm screaming
But no one hears a sound—
Cuz it's inside me.

Does it seem like I 
Am antisocial?
I'll tell you why—
It's cuz I'm SO
emotional.

Deep inside, I'm trapped
In the fictional
And I'm
Just
Stuck
In my head.

It's beautiful here.
Absolutely.
Am I safe from fear?
Not completely.
Is it dangerous here?
Relatively. Yes it could be.

Just keep yourself aware, 
Walk through my mind
Avoid my snare.
Snare? you ask
Sorry, says I
I'm not sure I actually laid that.
If I did, it was never to hurt you.
Likely to protect myself or
Catch some food.

I will be back
In an hour or two, just TRUST me.
It's just what I do.
I know my world BETTER than the one
Outside, the one
That gave birth to me, gave me life

Yeah it's complicated
Being two planets at once—
Maybe more—
But I can't help it.
With an attention span so thin,
You'll see through it eventually, yeah
As I space out again
With my head in the stars.
Oh I'm seeing the stars.
Stars that glow red.
Did I tell you I'm stuck in my head?
