I come to the corner of my mind
A place shadowed and black
A baron abyss
No way back
Every teasing turn
Wills me to sanity
A safe haven
Once free
As I tiptoe into lost awareness
My mind a tangled dread
A lit corner
Up ahead
I tread with apprehension
Into a comforting glow
Unease leaves me
My mind lets go
The trappings of my membranes
Incarcerate me no more
Cerebral hemispheres
Open a door

I'm afraid I'm being foolish. As a result of my blindness, blind trust. My complete immersion in emotion. Judgement blurred. Inhibitions lowered. I live my life for the moment. And cherish each one.
#beginninglines. #nightdwellers. Stepping into the unknown. For what I've known was a facade. I've given up on foolish hope. I'm off to find unbroken calm. I take my weary troubled soul.
Dusk over dawn. The horizon beneath the sun. Waves cascading over the smooth sand. A cave hidden away on an island. Locked away. Hung by handcuffs against the cold stone walls. Welcome to my home.
