Brain: A Monster Within

Boring thoughts—
Replaced your bliss,
And the peace of mind;
Initiating prolonged—
Nervosity and worries

All alone with no urge
Makes you feel antsy;
Only disgruntled in—
No one except yourself.
Sometimes you wish to—
Turn off your brain,
Eat without your fingers,
Rest in peace and cease

With self-belief, win your—
Insecurities and your sloth,
Try to flee your depression;
Hanging out with someone—
Instead of hiding yourself
None but you can free you.
