I'm Caught in a Whirlwind

 
Im caught in a whirlwind, confusion inside,  
These thoughts in my head, it’s a tumultuous ride.  

I’m lost in illusions, the chaos I find,  
It’s messing with me, playing tricks on my mind.  

Been pushed to edge, sometimes I feel I may  fall, but they don't know my strength
I’ll stand tall through it all.  

Locked away in madness, feel the pressure it rise.

I’m breaking out now, the world’s in for a surprise, back in the books with a pen as my bride , with a hunger in chest, and burning inside

Looking for my path; I’m ready for the test.  
The past is the past and forget all the rest

Caught in the city, lost in the crowd,  
Seeing familiar faces, but they don’t make me proud.  

Searching for solace in a world turning cold,  
Watching out for shadows from stories untold.  

I’m wrestling my demons, they don’t let me be,  But I’m carving my own path, just wait and you'll see.

I’m caught in a whirlwind, confusion entwined,  Thoughts spinning wildly, a tumultuous ride.  

Lost in illusions, chaos takes hold me,  
Playing tricks on my mind, unraveling let me be

Pushed to the brink, I teeter and sway,  
But deep down, I know I’ll find my own way.  

Locked in the madness, the pressure ascends, but I’m breaking free now, the struggle transcends.  

The world’s in for a shock; I rise from the grind, with pen in my hand, creativity aligned.    

The past is behind me; I’ll shed every chain,  
Embracing the present, I’ll dance in the rain.  

Caught in the city, lost in the throng,  
Familiar faces surround me, but something feels wrong.  

Longing for solace in a world turning cold,  
I watch for the shadows, for stories untold.  

Battling my demons as they claw at my peace,  But I’m carving my journey—just wait for the release.
