The walls are white
The room is padded
Nothing can hurt me now
The jacket is tight
And the mask fits right
Not much movement allowed
The calming syringe
Still makes my cringe
But keeps the thrash away
My gums feel singed
From the medicine binged
To keep the Demons at bay
But thoughts still get through
Of the things I want to do
If I ever find my way to you
So keep yourself hidden
For the utmost forbidden
May occur out of the blue
But sleep safe tonight
Cause I just don't have the might
To turn you into casualty
But in my minds eyes
I see your demise
Becoming my reality.

S-M87,
As I read your poem, I sense a sadness. I’m hoping the words I’m reading are not relatable to you or something you’re experiencing. If they are, I’m so sorry for you. Do not despair because this too shall pass. I wish you all the best.

Laura, you're always so kind, and just as always, thank you for your time. That's not something you ever get back, and you use some of yours to read my words. Thank you. As genuinely as I know how to say it, thank you.

no, I read nothing insane
just a tired soul, trying to find a new anchor of inspiration
a spark of warmth, to affirm its belonging to this universe
in short, I read and related to the yearning: in your poetic voice..
a good read, thanks for sharing
I am forced to tell you the answer is – yes. Or at least you have been judged as severely disturbed to find yourself in that position – justified by the thoughts displayed in the second half.
Well structured piece – content should leave an uneasy feel…
L.B, and Doggerel, thank you both for your kind words and opinions, both are held in high regard.
