Insane Asylum

The walls are pale white

And paper thin,

Steel bars hold me in,

But don’t keep the evil out.

I’m trapped, Need out!

They feed me crap,

They sit me in a circle,

Redundancy is key,

Or so they say.

 

The chains holding me to the wall,

Reminds me of home,

Where imps held me down,

And clawed at my bones.

 

Outside time we get every day,

They say fresh air will do us good.

They don’t see the birds as they glare at me,

They don’t see the dark man

That whispers in my ears.

 

The guard dog sees me, he sees my soul.

The ghost which follows me takes a toll.

The people here are blind,

In their white coats and hats,

They don’t see the evil,

They don’t see the faceless men.

 

How long must I stay here,

Tortured every night,

How long must I stay here,

Ending every day in fright.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good poem. I could feel the entrapment and desire to be left alone. You create a situation and desire to break free. I like the feel and emotion of frustration at what the world is tossing at the caged person. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

This was a very interesting piece. I really like your rhymes and structure but I feel like you've portrayed the experience really well too. Nice write.
