Blank stare
into blank space
I see nothing
but everything.

As my mind wanders
the dark corners of the room,
my ears pic up the
distant conversation
of the couple beside me.

I am lost inside my head.

Spinning quickly
on an axis slightly below five degrees.

Tied behind the white straight jacket
of my skull,
rest my thoughts,
fighting to be free
yet potentially dangerous to themselves and others.
