Ethan Daniel

Mansion

When I wake up I’m still tripping,

Not on substances but chemicals.

Emotions.

 

I walk through the days just to hear voices,

Not from people I know

But from a place that I should call home.

My mind is a mansion but I’m stuck in a room.

 

The pictures on the wall are blood red,

Is that from my bleeding heart or distrust?

Everyday is just another step to nowhere,

So what’s the point?

 

I’m a prisoner to my own thoughts

Fortifying my mansion to the world,

Bleeding to death from the wounds I’ve earned

So please save me from my self inflicted curse
