A once blissful state of mind
Corrupted by emotional knives
Cutting deep within my brain
To break me in my sleep again.
The steel bends to form a cage
Trapping in surreal thoughts and pains
And images of who I was.
I become a creature
A subject of my mind’s devices
A reflection of the monster inside
To succumb to its every whim
Be a puppet on its strings.
I’m dragged along by words
And drowned by tides of pain.
No matter what I try to see,
The creature shall remain.
I writhe and wiggle against the cage
It wakes me from my sleep
But in the dark of midnight,
The cage escapes my dreams.
Corrupted by emotional knives
Cutting deep within my brain
To break me in my sleep again.
The steel bends to form a cage
Trapping in surreal thoughts and pains
And images of who I was.
I become a creature
A subject of my mind’s devices
A reflection of the monster inside
To succumb to its every whim
Be a puppet on its strings.
I’m dragged along by words
And drowned by tides of pain.
No matter what I try to see,
The creature shall remain.
I writhe and wiggle against the cage
It wakes me from my sleep
But in the dark of midnight,
The cage escapes my dreams.
This is my first poem. I wrote it originally for school, and everyone loved it so much that I used it to get on here, and now I'm publishing it. This is the first poetic work I have ever published. I hope you enjoy.
Next poem: Hopefully a satirical work of some sort.
