Lost in Translation

The thoughts that fill me up
Caught within my aching head
Each one tangled with another
Controlling me instead

Birds caged with their own wings
Screaming themselves to death
Clawing at the walls of my mind
Their true places left bereft

No sound to be heard
But in the tears upon my cheek
Can you tell me what is
I am meant to think?

But no one will ever hear
What's inside me
Because it would be suicide
If it were to be set free
