Bedlam Poem by Lynn El Amine

Bedlam



Take me
Take me now
Take me away
Don't you want me to leave?

Dress me in white
Handcuff me
And lock me up

Isn't that what you want?
Isn't that what you desire?

Send me away
Away..

I
Will
Always
Imagine...

Your head in the masher
What a good day
The sun's up
And your head's chopped up

No matter how far
I will always see
The unseen by you...

Colors
Red
Black
Grey
And my dress
Still white
Is it supposed to represent light?

Can't white be as bad as black?
What difference does it make?

I'm mad
Either in red, black,
White or grey

I must not forget
This is another one of my own created scenes...

What are you waiting for?
Send me away
Go ahead
Get rid of me

What are you waiting for?
Ha!
In this round
You're not the one to score

It's my game
My script
I will win
I have to..

But my heart has always been black
A huge hole in it
Where your warmth once was...
It will never come back

You will never come back..
So why won't you spare me another attack?


It's not like I have enough strength to sustain
But the memory brings back pain
Over
And
Over
Again

No strength to sustain...


In the end
I'm just a puppet
You toy with me
Anytime you want
Until your spirit's free

I have but one color left to see
Faded red
Where you kept your dagger
It's not wine
Not this time
No..

The white ain't white no more
The stains of faded red
Decorate me
Sparkling...

My eyes will remember your image
As they shed unknown tears
Can't believe that the tide has turned
The tide has turned…

What is it that you do?

Somewhere in my dreams
You hide the key
You win the race
Pretending it was me..

It was my head in the masher
It was you on the outside
On the inside
You were me…

I held my sword high
Thinking that I've reached the stars
That I've reached the sky

But my wrists are still cuffed
And my legs drag a chain
With each step I take
Barbed wire…

Congratulations
This year
Your wishes came true
Like they usually do

I'm sent away
Far away…
Bedlam.
