I stray through the dark, twisted hallways
Alone, but careless
No escape out of here
Only devastating emptiness
Ice cold bars blocking my path
There’s no way around
The silence is deafening
Can’t hear the softest sound
I turn and roam the other way
The Darkness keeps me company
Thick stone walls
As far as I can see
My feelings bleed away
Slowly counting the days to come
Until there’s nothing left
And I become numb
Not even afraid of my demons anymore
I know I will never be free
My fighting spirit is gone
Along with my sanity
Just blindly walking in circles
There is no door to find
I am locked away for good this time
In the Asylum of my own mind…

Pssst! Over here, there’s a secret door. Long stairway, careful don’t trip. Then, paradise! A place you can shout your feelings. A place where mythical creatures come alive. Fairies and mermaids enchant you to their world. A sandy cove with shells hanging from driftwood stakes, chiming out their sea song. Green and bodacious burst of floral blooms. The smell! Glorious. Sit on this patch of moss and take a sip of honeyed tea. Ahh, a hint of rose hip and chamomile. Feel the breeze, as your hair dances with its touch. Hear the waterfall cascade over the fern fringed rocks, to the shimmering pool below. All your sense brought alive by this paradise. You can stay, or you can return anytime you close your eyes and feel it, see it, taste it, hear it, smell it…
The door to the castle has been sealed in brick by the unicorns and gnomes.
Peace,
Patti
