The Aslyum Poem by Colten Garrett

Down in everybody deep in every soul, theirs always a dark secret left untold.

locked in a dungeon so far away, life is the key that I've thrown away.

I've asked my self why but I can't seem to answer

with no one around I start my own adventure

into the path it's a risky venture my mind holds all that their is to answer

I've came to realize I'm all alone as so is my heart its as hard as a stone

I can't stand my pain as I've always mourn

I ask my self what is life like when your not alone

I don't no as my pain is over grown

starting with my feet it has me over thrown

for I am the castle

for my heart is its thrown

this body is not me I can't call it my own

it's making my brain go all hay wire

with my pain making its own empire

I feel my own body is impossible to acquire

living life as a patient as mental as as I am

so gentle is not me

as temperamental as I can be

but normal is all I wanna be

in this asylum I can't be free

I'm like a bird trapped in a cage with no one to set me free

with this place so governmental

all I wish I had was just a pistol

for my pain would be gone shattered, shattered in millions

this place would be dead blood in the billions

as I start to dream as settle as I am

I wake up peacefully with a knife in my hand
