Delirium

I am facing a delirium. 

Where all the voices are like helium. 

All I see is what they will steal. 

When all they want is for my eyes to heal. 

My vessel is out in the open. 

Being honest can be seen as a sin. 

It was too late to give love a try. 

The last of my humanity, away they will pry. 

All that’s left, and all that’s done. 

I will wilt away, in this cage that won.
