My Mind
My mind is that room in your house
The door has been locked for years
You haven’t dared open it up yet
You aren’t ready to face your fears
Cause the room is all padded
And the lights no longer work
If thoughts were scribbled on the wall
It’s where all my demons would lurk
My mind is that haunted old school
Way back when, we might have learned
But you take your friends out for a look
Not knowing what dark spirits may churn
All the floorboards still creak
A chill may even run up your spine
I wouldn’t advise for the feint of heart
But my demons live here just fine
My mind is that burned down asylum
Many broken souls have passed through
You might want a peak just for kicks but
You won’t come back, even if you’re dared to
It’s been years and it’s still twisted
Much like the minds that ambled before
But if you made it this deep into my mind
Then you may like what I have in store
The door has been locked for years
You haven’t dared open it up yet
You aren’t ready to face your fears
Cause the room is all padded
And the lights no longer work

My mind is that haunted old school
Way back when, we might have learned
But you take your friends out for a look
Not knowing what dark spirits may churn

Love the way you cleverly use those deserted spots to create an visual image for the reader. There's some lovely lines of rhyme in this poem:)

Some of the most beautiful souls I know have serious legions of demons in tow. It's the contrast that creates the textures & depths. Your stark imagery set against the way you almost lovingly refer to your demons makes for a very intriguing piece. My demons & I will stick around & see what else ya got. :-)

The mind is a delicate place and with many doors that we would rather not open too many times.

Tim! I was actually thinking about that while writing this, just another way to say all of this. I love you interpreted it that way :) as always, thank you so much for the read and comment❤️

You spill here conjured up a lot of different memories in my past.
I was in a padded room once only it was super white and bright -- i hated it as i've always loved darkness
I loved the tempo to this ink and each dark description
haunting spill

Thank you, Tallen❤️ Yes, a padded room is nowhere anyone would want to be in my opinion. I too love the dark. Thanks for reading and commenting :)

I really connected with this fine poem, beautifully constructed, all sounds very familiar, a mind broken is broken forever, sadly. Love fixes much of the damage but the hauntings of the mind continue it is just to a lesser extent. The worst combination is a broken mind and a broken heart - I love the way you write :-)
excellent Ink - ease RL add :-)

Honestly David, you honor me too often with the RL adds! But I’m grateful for the love, nonetheless. I’m so glad you connected with it and that my writing can do that for someone. Thank you for the read, the kind comment and the RL add❤️

I like the darkness within this poem. Let the demonic spirits free to write some more.
Peace, love and empathy.
