Run away
Locked away
Stay away.
Safely tucked away.
Don’t go outside.
Sickness outside,
Spreading outside
Can’t be outside.
Work inside.
Brace inside
Keep inside
Relax inside…
Right?
Day one is new.
Day two is normal.
Day three is the same
Day four is the same.
Day seven,
No day six…
How many days?
Same on the inside.
Inside is sane
Or is inside insane?
No the crazy is out there,
We’re fine in here.
Locked out…
Or locked in?
The walls are the same.
No.
Closer,
Compact,
Claustrophobic.
Pull away
Retreat away
Get away.
Get inside.
Keep inside
Retreat to the keep of the mind.
Keep me in mind.
My mind is my own
My mind is safe.
Mind myself.
Myself.
Who?
Walls in here.
Barriers out there
Barriers in here?
Gotta climb the walls.
Don’t climb the barricaded keep.
Barricaded to keep safe.
Locked it all out.
I have the key
But I can leave.
Just find the door.
Why am I locked in?
Straight jacket inside.
Trapped inside.
Barricaded inside.
Want outside.
Break outside.
Breath outside.
Peace outside.
Sickness inside.
