Tortuous
A leaf falls down
Falls to my feet,
Trembles with the wind.
Slowly my hands reach for it
And in the breeze I bend.
Slowly drifting
With the dust,
Floating,
Flying,
Into the clouds.
Sunshine pours
Down around me
Slowly the sky turns to red.
Pink and purple
Fills the sky
And fills my heart as well.
Then the sun sets
And so does my mind,
Thrown into an asylum,
Tortuous hell.
Screams echo,
And echous screams
Fill the air around me.
Grinning faces,
Smiling madmen
Populate every room and wall.
Into a cell I'm Quickly pushed,
Into the matress my bloody face falls.
Shackles at my hands and feet,
Brace upon my mind,
Every hall I seek and search,
My sanity to find.
A shock at my side
A knife hid inside
From the calloused hands which did place it.
Down on my knees,
I beg with disease
Of mental nature
for me to soon find.
For within these wall
Hell resides
Within these walls
Sanity Bides
Its time within these wall.
Brought to a room,
Smell impeding doom,
A spike lodged inot my brain.
Outside I lay,
Time passing away,
With nothing to do or to see.
From my tangled grasp,
My fingers unclasp
And the leaf falls down to the ground.
A small breeze picks up,
The dust now kicks up,
And the leaf is carried again.
I sit on my bench
A grin on my face,
No better than the wandering Hordes.
Happy now, am I
Within the asylum walls.
Caught up in this world
So tormentuous.
