SELF MADE ASYLUM

In my mind I created an
asylum, Filled with straight
jackets, nonsense and useless
Ultimatums. A prisoner
of war located in my own
brain, Arms wrapped behind
my back Triggered by visions
of pain, Accusing myself of
being insane, it was all a
game! I’m shocking them all
bursting straight through the
fire, Distressed by never the
less, I’m burning fiercely with
desire, I’m going higher!
They can’t stop me, Raging
for a better life why the sit
back and watch me.

BEAUTY FROM HEARTACHE

Wrapped in a cocoon
of darkness emerges
a butterfly, The pain
that hid her from
freedom finally losses
its disquise. Beauty
came from heartache, A
masterpiece is being
made, A tormented
mind lost in time breaks
free from her cage!

SWIRLING OUT OF REALITY

Swirling in and out
of reality emotions
increasing as I’m
closer to the top,
Exploding ambition
like they’ve never
seen Conquering the
Demons that made
me stop. Bleeding
blood the was filled
with sorrow, but I’m
brushing it away with
each tear shed, Armed
and ready to face my
Demons lay them
permanently in their
bed!

WRAPPED IN CHAINS

The sky seemed like it was
falling and I was on my last
breath. Running through
life blind mesmerized
with the thought of death.
I was being defeated and
the devil himself had me
wrapped in chains, My
mind riddled and confused
believing I was insane.
Deep inside where my
Demons cry I became
awakened, The Devil met
his match and he’s mine
for the taking!
