My mind darts in
To the lion’s den.
Never to see the light again.

A place of danger,
Of pitfalls and traps.
A place where even the bravest snap.

But in this land
Of danger and pain.
For me,
A new found sense of peace and tranquility reigns.

For in the chaos of my brain,
Order will never emerge again.
Never take hold
And **** the reigns,
Or even notify me
Of my pain.

For this anguish here,
It is too hard to bear.
And so of sanity I am not heir.
If I was,
You’d surely see
A much darker side of me.

One with hope,
That will destroy my life
And force me to choke
On the world I see
Right before my deadened eyes.

An ephemeral meaning,
A floating wish,
A yearning for deaths kiss.

And so I enter
The lion’s den,
Never to step out again.
