My mind is a basket, filled with random clutter
My stress, my worries, fill it up to the brim
Words get stuck, the words they utter
Makes this basket, brittle and dim

My mind is a bottle, filled with soot
The pressure it holds, it's to much
The knowledge of others, in there, it's put
All bottles will shatter, in the garbage there thrown

My mind is the sea, heavy with guilt
It's filled with love, filled with worry
It's filled with anxyity that holds me down
I hide away, so no one can see, the terrible things my mind holds

I know things are fine, but my mind will race
It thinks of the worse, in every case
My family, my friends, all have a bottle, too
There full, like mine, but I'll keep them smiling, like I always do
