Asylum
By Liath
Asylum
When I go crazy
And I feel I'm losing control
I retreat into my depths
Throw up walls
Defense
Barricades
Not, though
To keep things out
But
To keep me in
Contained
I seek asylum
I fear imprisonment (by narrow-minded social norms)
I need shelter
I don't want help
I get scared and mute
I don't trust people
I don't like them
I just need a place to be alone
To think
To regain control
But soon again I've lost it
It's wrenching
Pulling
Dragging
Me
Into madness
And sorrow
So once again I revert to the good-old duck & cover
Back to my asylum
My mind
My conscience
My Asylum

this has the ring of truth to it... not like some things I've read that are merely composed... you took me through your mind... and I liked it!

We all need a place to call home, and more importantly to feel at home(haven.) You have spoken without the misleadings of metaphors and have made so to disclose in simplicity. Beautiful tact. Excellent work. theemptyman
