My mind is like a prison cell
I have been sentenced to life
Stuck within these four walls
Pacing around the cell block
Intrusive thoughts circle like guards
Dictating my schedule
Controlling what I eat
Counting my calories
Society is the judge
Issuing opinions and verdict
Imprisoning others for being themselves
Imprisoned me in here
Overthinking is my bailiff
Punishing me for being me
Punishing me by taking away my sleep
Incarcerating me subconsciously
