Inside the insane asylum, That I go to five days a week. Straightjacket tight, I can barely breathe. Listening to all the inmates, Contemplating all their mistakes, I can’t even sleep. They continuously repeat, The same lines over and over again. When is my reprieve? Better be soon, before my mind turns to a ruin. “Blah, blah, blah.” That’s all I hear. Their voices, drowning out, Every other peaceful sound. “Blah, blah, blah, blah.” I feel the blood flow from my ears, As I look to the ground, And fade into the background. Can’t believe I still have a couple years. When I break free, will my fears control me? Sometimes it feels like I’m surrounded by, Sheep that would just follow the crowd, Till they died. Am I going crazy…? Or is it just all hyperbole…?

Shorter Poem #27 "Insane Asylum"
Inside the insane asylum, That I go to five days a week. Straightjacket tight, I can barely breathe. Listening to all the inmates, Contemplating all their mistakes, I can’t even sleep. They continuously repeat, The same lines over and over again. When is my reprieve? Better be soon, before my mind turns to a ruin. “Blah, blah, blah.” That’s all I hear. Their voices, drowning out, Every other peaceful sound. “Blah, blah, blah, blah.” I feel the blood flow from my ears, As I look to the ground, And fade into the background. Can’t believe I still have a couple years. When I break free, will my fears control me? Sometimes it feels like I’m surrounded by, Sheep that would just follow the crowd, Till they died. Am I going crazy…? Or is it just all hyperbole…?
Thank goodness I'm free, till August that is.
