Where My Secrets Are Kept

there is a place I can go inside of my head
in the back of mind where secrets are kept
a place where the darkness comforts and soothes
where I am at peace to think it all through
away from the clutter and noise of my brain
away from the doubt that brings me more pain
through this darkness I can see clear
and think my dark thoughts without any fear
in the back of my mind I know what to do
time and again I have thought it all through
with a wink and a tear from the eye in my mind
my psyche is steered by the thoughts deep inside
a trick to convince the rest of my brain
that the thoughts that I think are just mildly insane
but the lobe in the front is set to resist
and think it all out while the darkness persists
so I am left here to struggle and fight
while the front of my brain insists it is right
and in the back of my mind where my secrets are kept
my rational thought becomes more inept
