Sail


My fear has come to be as I

set sail in this mental institution

as my mind begins to sail as I set

here in a straight jacket and a

face mask just to stop me from

killing myself in this padded room

of red oh I mean white, my defect

has got stronger while my rage gets

bigger in time but it wont matter

because I am sick in the head from

all the head banging and medication

they have me on to control my anger.

My energy in me is low because they

have me chained to the ground like a

filthy animal who is vicious, my mind

is twisted like a vampire just craven

for blood like a lunatic just waiting to

kill again after getting out of the ward

from fighting with his demons at night.
