Within My Mind

There seems to be a problem inside my mind, There are dragons roaring behind closed doors Princesses scraping along prison bars And usually dancing fairies trying to dig their way out There are sparkling diamonds buried beneath mountains Waterfalls quashed as boulders blocks the flow Ogres growling for help trapped in the dark And princes charging walls at strangelled cries for aid Inside my mind feasts have been stopped Werewolves howl, caught away from their prey Vampires hiss in coffins sealed at the lid And the Bogeyman’s stomach grumbles from the cupboard Castles have gone into lock down Confining courtiers to banging on the walls Music’s stopped; deadly silence fills the void And halts the laughter of children held within Inside my mind Witches curse thick stockades Gremlins circle cages threatening their captors Goblins spit with rage within their boxes And elves bug Santa who’s reflecting on the meaning of Christmas Frankenstein smashes boulders that replace themselves Ghosts sit in shock that they can no longer walk through walls Kiss me Quick’s have no one to kiss And fairy Tales have no ending at all never mind a happy one Inside my mind everything has stopped Trapped by blocks within my mind And as I sit here watching scenes with nothing in I and the things in my head curse the writers curse Writers Block.
