Lobotomy
they called it mercy, the white coats and clipboards, a room with thick walls, sterile, and him sitting there— eyes like rain-soaked concrete.

I don’t know which is worse amnesia or lobotomy, one you have no control over and the other you can ask to receive One happens from an accident in which you didn’t want to lose your thoughts, and the other is used to rid your mind of monsters within your mind that crawls I used to wish...

After a Lobotomy
After A Lobotomy Instead of being overtly obnoxious Could continue to remain cautious Always careful what you say and do Not ending up in trouble or a stew.

Lobotomy
I was dangerous when I killed four people because I was insane. But some doctors cured me by removing a chunk of my brain. Four innocent people are dead because of my insanity. I had to be stopped because I was a threat to humanity. I couldn't stop myself, I had to kill. Nobody knows how bad that makes me...
