Prisoner

I find myself
Replaying
Rethinking
Obsessing
Addressing
These puzzles in my brain
The thoughts that
Twist around me
Like a mental tornado
Chaos tumbling
All around me
Within me
Surrounds me
Astounds me
Shakes me
And screams at me
In a foreign tongue
And it grows louder still
Yet I cannot comprehend
And it then becomes
More frightening
Deafening confusion
Emotional intrusion
Can feel like delusion
Puts me in seclusion
Lock the chamber
Of my Being
So they can't get in
To scatter me
To shatter me
But I do their work for them
Because now I can't get out
Trapped myself in
My head
My mind
My web
My grind
Gears won't cease
Sparks and creaks
Can't get it working properly
I need some mental lubrication
To set sanity in motion
I seek to find the key
That I tossed into the ocean
Must dive deep
Must find it
Must free myself
Unlock the Chamber of Secrets
Throw off the shackles
And beat down the walls
Release myself
Release my me
Prisoner unto myself
No more...
