After repeated inquiries
into the state of my mind
you
resort to lingering side-
long glances, trying to
see
the truth behind my
steadfast denials and
imitation smiles.
You attempt slyness, but
I'm
quick to notice these
analytical gazes. It's not
your fault that I am
both unable and unwilling
to allow you into
the maze of my mind.
Though hurtful
to us both, it's
just so
much easier to lash out
than to let you in.
There's simply nothing
good
in there, you see. Trust
me when I say the terrors
flinging themselves
at
my brain will gladly
make you their prey too.
No one is safe from my
sabotage.
