Psychologically Incarcerated
The Cerebral Straitjacket
Psychologically incarcerated
Behind cerebral walls
Inaudible shrieks and screams
To which they all befall
.
Unbridled narcissism
Immune to true affection
Manipulation, shame and guilt
Emotional contraception
.
Devastation and demise
An entree of deceit
Lack of serotonin
A war fought in defeat
.
The image of reflection
Unrecognizable to touch
Disdain and desecration
Reality without a crutch
.
Empathy forsaken
Tossed into the fire
Deviation soon unshackled
Fueled by foul desire
.
The lustful thoughts ruminating
A syringe filled with temptation
Injected into my soul
The filth anticipation
.
Hostility trapped within a maze
Sediment of sifted thoughts
Lack of physical restraint
The voices chant their taunts
.
Sharpened unforgiving steel
Pressed against my flesh
A rapid pulsing river flows
The scent of sweet duress
.
Constantly performing
Upon this high-rise ledge
Concrete anxiously awaits
My slip or final pledge
.
Explosiveness within my grip
Fragmented fleeing matter
Serenity of the aftermath
The crimson abstract splatter
.
The noose is tightly cinched
With a detrimental zest
Gently sways the Maple Tree
A soul finally at rest

Just gathering inspiration along the way in this thing we call "Life." I prefer to write about the trials and tribulations of societal issues, but will immerse myself in a few other genres as well. Please drop by and say Hello! Cheers..
