I know this place

I know these streets

I know the weather

The back of my hand

I know this house

I dream of it at night

The halls and walls

Untouched by time

I know how to enter

Camouflage my wings

Submerge ‘neath the abyss

And live without air

It’s a rigorous routine

Never ending madness

The tedium of sameness

A merry go round

Like an autistic trigger

Rainman patters in my brain

Rhythmic and stuck

The voices begin

The silent blood letting

The muffled screams

A loaded gun duel

Just a dark comedy

This place

This god damned place

How long will I dance here

A fucking lunatic

Yes please

Give me the straight jacket

The landscape is smeared

Colors turned black

Gravity, obsolete

Raining bullshit

Wake up lunatic

Look at your padded cell

The years you’ve lost

Mumbling and carrying on

No one is listening.

No. One. Hears. You.

Stop scratching

Crying and sobbing

Demanding justice

Or even an apology

You poor deluded soul

Look where you are

You are in the asylum

And this is NOT your home

Your abuser

Your contender

The mad fucking hatter

Lives next door

Shouting at your ghost

Arguing with your demons

It’s what we do

In our heads

On and on

Over the years

Arguing our case

Because

These scars.

Someone

Acknowledge it

Dignify it

One day

It will change

Eyes will open

Ears will hear

…right?

Down the rabbit hole

Drinking poison

Going back

Again and again

I know the way in

I know the way out

Maybe one day-

I’ll leave.
