Trapped

I N S T U T I O N A L I Z E D=
                                        PRISONER OF HIS OWN MIND

SUGAR COATED SPONGE RUBBER make up his brain

his fingers are cold as JUNKIE DIGITS

a STUFFED SINUS laugh chokes him

                               kinda PALEOLITHIC isn't it

trapped between a CATALYSMIC alter ego and his self


etched with a cross sounding tabacco voice thats scares the best of THEM


forced fed a MORPHINE breakfast  to help him escape himself

he knows how to  CONCEPTUALIZE interms of masking his own dreams

                   once a LIBERAL DOOGOODER

now considered CONSPICOUS by the staff
he's locked away forever and theres no coming back

COULD WE OF HELPED HIM 
IS HE FORGOTTEN
THIS IS SOMEONE WE ALL KNOW
