Confining quartet of walls
One, drawn in cold iron bars
Shadowing days in darkness
Absent windows, swallow stars

Charged with concealing
Masquerading movement
Manipulating minds motive
Rejecting self improvement

A convicted felon of fiction
Imprisoned by ego’s vanity
Kissing lies, tongue and all
I challenge my own sanity

Chamber of cognitive chaos
Mentally insane cellblock set
Trenchant thoughts try truth
Locked away in dreams net
