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.
