72-Hours For Peace of Mind or A Piece of Your Mind
Feelings of despair
overrun my senses
deep breathing practices
stall the consequences
*
Thoughts are pulsating
as echoes in my head
mental pain overwhelms
emotions full of dread
**
This blade slices deeply
yet not as well as my word
I am surrounded by people
yet solitude is preferred
***
Intellectual shortcomings
led to a lack of erudition
my search for verbal discourse
brought me to this institution
****
With its ceiling to floor padding
comfort is never problematic
this reverse overcoat fits snug
choices are no longer democratic
*****
Though it may seem surprising
my time here is for introspection
they have convinced me that
it’s for my own protection
******
I no longer seek adventure
not because I’ve become lazy
fortunately I’m locked in here
as I am certifiably crazy
