My mind
Is a jumble
I can't
Figure out
Why I can't
Why I can't
I can't
Can't
Go through
The labrinyth
Of my mind
My twisted
Horrible, crazy
Mind
Why I can't
Why I can't
I can't
Can't
Stop my mind
From telling
The world
Why I can't
Why I can't
I can't
Can't
Control my
Mind and
Why I can't
Why I can't
I can't
Can't
Can't
Live a
Different
Life
Why I can't
Why I can't
I can't
Can't

I love this! The repetition almost makes you feel like your turning corners in the labyrinth. Amazing :)
