Asylum.

Padded room,
Locked door,
Safe from harm,
Yet still
Insecure,
Drugs don't
Work,
Mind races,
She's walked
The room,
A million paces,
Not insane,
Just mixed
Messages,
Tap tap tap,
Foot keeps
Working,
Trap trap trapped,
Mind keeps
Jerking,
Rooms of
White,
With bright
Light,
Spy hole
In the heavy
Metal door,
Footsteps
Clicking in the
Corridor,
A goldfish
Bowl,
A lost
Soul,
Watched
Perused,
Medical
Experimentation,
No compensation,
Electrical probes,
Attached to her
Brain,
Medically unfit,
Clinically insane,
Electricity surges
Through her being,
Suppressed her
Emotions,
Stops her from seeing,
Clearly not living,
Just existing,
Wheeled through
Corridors so vast,
Lights above blinking,
She's not insane,
Just depressed,
Scared and lonely,
She regressed,
She's repressed,
An animal caged,
Needs support,
To douse her rage,
Internal voices,
No choices,
They were taken,
In her hands
Her head is
Shaken,
Medication,
Numbs the frustration,
This time,
Injected in her veins,
Against her wishes,
Her body jerks and
Strains,
Her senses dulled
And silenced,
To stop her rage and violence,
She believes she is
Fine,
But to herself she is blind,
Logical and rational,
She can be,
The other side shows
Her version of
Insanity,
A compelling conflict,
Between two
Personas,
Belongs to one brain,
Two loners,
Lost not found,
She looked,
She didn't find,
Ushered to this place,
Memories left behind,
Seek harder and
She will see,
The place she's in
Is not insanity,
A vision of what her
Life's become,
Her reality and visions
Have become one,
She's not in the asylum
For the insane,
It was part of her
Brains complex game,
A metaphor, an image
Of how she's feeling,
Trapped yet alone, her
Mind is reeling,
She needs to find the
Master key,
To unlock the door
To reality.

Unsure

Sit oblivious trapped in my mind which seems to be victorious There must be something wrong I must be going insane I've been thinking this for far too long Why is this feeling so strange.

Anxiety's Spell

Anxiety wrapped around my neck, Like a necklace. Swing, hit & a miss. Tightening around my throat, Taking the breath from my lungs. Until I choke. Angels cried, the devil's sung.

My Mind

I’m fighting hard; I’m trying my best, Trying to find myself apart from the rest. My mind is crazy it’s certainly not a place to be Once you enter the light again you will never see.

Russian Roulette

How do you know if something is wrong. When your mind becomes a game of simple roulette. Where its pain filled like the game of Russian roulette. A game to win, lose or die.

Reflections

I'm sick of reflections. I've smashed all the mirrors. But the images keep projecting. Someone I don't recognise. Even the reflection from my phone. Seems to tease my mind.

This Body Is Mine

My mind says this. But my body does that. Nothing seems to work. When my other half attacks. He does these things. Without my consent. Words spilling out. That I never really meant.

Not Myself

Where did I go. Where have I been. I'm really not sure. The things that I've seen. My minds all a flutter. My life's in a rut. I really am wishing. My door would stay shut. But something is in here.

Whispers Of Insanity

Silver, sharp, & beautiful, Scars with stories to unfurl, Cliché, broken, lost, & misplaced in an artificial world, Crucified, hanging from the devils cross, Suicide looming & a mind spilt in...
