scribbles and lines
dots and symbols
put together to form meaning
sounds made into words
burn our memory
these scribbles and lines
dots and symbols
words in sounds
repeat over again
play back in our heads
strange words control situations
effect outcomes
scribbles of words
written or spoken
causes us to rethink
over and over
until we bring ourselves down
pills to numb the pain
the want to jump and fall
scribbles and lines
words in sounds
haunt us in black
memories controlled by words
the want for an escape
to be in a better place
these words in sounds
scribbles and lines
lead to life or death
combinations of words and letters
stay in our heads forever
to stay sane with these
dots and symbols
words and lines
scribbles and sounds
repeating again in time
it's one of the hardest things
to control our mind
to stop the voices with words
to choose to move on or end it all
only because of those
scribbles and lines
