A Paranoid Hate Poem

The walls piercing through their plaster,
as if watching me, mocking me, there
are four. I'm locked in a room and my 
demons are feeding on my mind. The 
bed shakes sometimes, and sometimes 
it refuses to move, it holds me close 
and screams that it'll never let me go. 
I'm locked in a room and my demons are 
feeding on my mind. My bookshelf sits
there, waiting for me to run my fingers 
through it like I used to, but I don't have 
that childlike enthusiasm left in me like
I had in November. I'm locked in a room
with my demons who never let me sleep.
I'm locked in this room with my demons, 
and they are feeding on my soul. I'm 
locked in this godforsaken room, seeking
an out and these demons are sucking the
life out of me. I'm locked in this room 
awaiting my sweet release.
