a patch of green
lies there
where my thoughts lay bare
I've been taught to behave, for years
to speak what soothes
to hear only chirps
to see just the silver
there, I do what they want
here, inside me
I think
I think of brutal truths
of horrible shrieks of suffering
I imagine the scenery of a pale world
and suddenly
I feel free
the true nature of this place
relieves me.
