Inner Mind
I walked through the blue door and into the light.
It all seemed so strange, it must have been night.
I looked around and saw the shadows, and felt the groping hands.
I pushed away and stumbled through into the spiral bands.
The spinning waves pushed me back, but I forced my way on through.
I kicked and clawed and punched my way because that's all I knew.
Once inside I looked around and saw that I was alone.
Then from a corner of the room arose an anguished moan.
I moved across the shadowed room to get a better look.
But what I saw pierced my heart like a jagged hook.
It wasn't a stranger that I saw crouching on the floor.
It was the face that looks back at me from the mirrored door.
I should have realized sooner what it was I'd find.
Because I'd only taken a trip into my inner mind.
