Insane Asylum

Concrete walls hold
the echoing footsteps
fear lives in every room
screaming inside the
minds of the so called insane


locked doors keep them
captive like in a cage
strapped to a cold metal
bed with noisy springs
empty eyes glare upwards


the drugs given to them
take over what little
sanity they had left inside
made crazy by association
not by a chemical imbalance


turned into zombies fried
by electric shock treatments
from Doctors thrill seeking
off the pain of others
nightmares and haunting pasts
