My Asylum

09-11-2011 NHITS66 Gallery Poetica Super User

I close my eyes
THUD!
My body hits the ground

I raise my head
The door slams
I look through the windows

He stares back at me
Judging
He thinks I am insane

Secretly he is scared of me
He envies me
He disappears in a blink
I am left alone
Or so it feels

The walls are soft
The room is white
my imagination is not

I can put colour over white
Love over hate
joy over despair

I am alone

With myself
Yet this is my serenity
My bliss
My asylum
