Mind In A Room II

Room still dark.
Door still shut.
Nothing moved.
But the mind...
never left.
Wait.
Listen.
It's quiet...
too quiet.
Mind in a room.
Room in my mind.
Four blank walls
closing in time.
Tick... tick...
thoughts don't stop.
Mind in a room...
and the door stays locked.
Mind in a room.
Room in my head.
Every word
I never said.
Tick... tick...
something's wrong.
Mind in a room...
too long.
Same chair.
Same floor.
Same light on the wall.
I count the cracks
just to feel something at all.
Clock hand drag
like it hates to move.
Minutes feel thick
like a tightening noose.
Every memory sits in the room
like a guest I didn't invite.
Old mistakes line the walls
watching me through the night.
No noise.
No phone.
No world outside.
Just the voice in the dark
that I buried alive.
Mind in a room.
Room in my mind.
Four blank walls
closing in time.
Tick... tick...
don't look back.
Mind in a room...
and the walls turn black.
Mind in a room.
Room in my chest.
Every ghost
I never confessed.
Tick... tick...
hear them talk.
Mind in a room...
can't walk.
Some men run.
Some men hide.
Some men bury
what's inside.
But when the world
goes cold and still
You meet the parts
you never kill.
Anger sits
in the corner seat.
Regret stands tall
on shaking feet.
Fear keeps knocking
on the locked door frame.
And every one of them
knows my name.
You built the room.
You sealed the door.
You said you'd never
feel it anymore.
But silence grows
where truth belongs.
And empty rooms
remember wrongs.
Mind in a room.
Room in my mind.
Four blank walls
closing in time.
Tick... tick...
hear it knock.
Mind in a room...
and the door unlocks.
Mind in a room.
Room in my soul.
Every shadow
taking control.
Tick... tick...
now I see.
The one trapped here...
was me.
Door still shut.
Room still quiet.
But the mind...
is finally honest.
