Tainted Mind Poem by Victoria Tori

Tainted Mind

My mind runs wild with hope
Held back by chains of life.

Wishing for a fairytale
Only to wake to reality.

Tainted with desire
Destined to be a disappointment.

Waiting patiently for my
Wildest dreams to come true.

Tortured and teased by
Fictional books.

Feeding my hungry mind
Buckets of lies.

Killing me each day that
Passes with no improvement.

Unable to turn my back
To such a ridiculous dream.

My mind has been poisoned
Tainted to the core.
