    Where I (They) Go

    .
    Where I (They) Go
    .
    I have room where I am safe and sound
    Hours spent to ensure no edges, all was round
    .
    No ropes to bind, no locks, no chains
    A table and chair is all it contains
    .
    When the feeling starts I shut myself in
    But my room wobbles and starts to spin
    .
    I paid for my sin when I didn't heed
    Light comes to me bending like a reed
    .
    The curves flatten and I pull at my hair
    Lock the door and crouch on the chair
    .
    Angles for spirits and demons to squeeze by
    I am asleep dreaming and this is all a lie
    .
    Horrible red things with mangled faces
    The spawn from hell and other worse places
    .
    Their tails wrapped around my neck choking
    Then run through my head tearing and poking
    .
    I hear from within sounds of horrible pain
    They know, absolute, complete is their reign
    .
    They see, they hear, nothing else matters
    What they say leaves my soul in tatters
    .
    Look once maybe twice make sure I'm alone
    Shadows are gone now back to their home
    .
    Left me a canvas, a temptation to inspire
    Tear it to shreds then throw it into the fire
    .

    Insanity is not necessarily a bad thing...it really does help when one learns this. You certainly have.

    very well done,like the way it flows

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
