Asylum Walls

All these noises All these voices How close are we all To asylum walls I curse and I cry I crave and I call Out to the shallow To the demons and dreams in my shadow Make it go away Make it stay This is living hell This is me in a cell Empty words Hollow promises Sickening Shallow souls Searching for the same thing Where does it end When we're already bent Broken and numb You took my sun

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
