Where My Mind Dwells

What a strange place where my mind dwells.
Where savagery runs wild 
And buffoonery is a crown of glory and not shame.
A place where the graceless reside 
And run between the stacks of distorted memories.
Where the gullible are the kings and queens of stability.
A backwards land where those who are extraordanary
Are consideres less than desireable
And are placed at the lowest spot. 
A place where sympathy and empathy no longer reside
And have long since stayed away.
A sad and emotionless place because depression consumes even the most lively of people.
A place where death and fear 
Is ubiquitous and inescapeable.
Yet there is something truly spectacular about this place.
It is where i can come in the quietness
And pen my precious thoughts without the fear of being shamed and proposed as a fool.
