The Price of Imagination

Out of control.

The thoughts in my mind wreak havoc

Spilling terror through my bones

They loop around the labyrinth of my body

Leaving it ruined and alone

 

I once owned a mind filled with comfort

Dreams with beauty and grace

But now darkness corrupts them with vigour

Leaving nightmares in their place

 

My home looks extremely different now

With iron gates that I must obey

The white walls and white coats on the people

Always there with each passing day

 

I can see others chained in here with me

Forever locked in their grey rooms

Gnawing visions devour and force them apart

Suffering all the way to their tombs

 

Like dark magic my thoughts set a spell

And I cannot restore my parts

With raw spite the thoughts finally surround me

To freeze my scared tender heart
