Save me from myself,
Entangle my hands as I don’t know what to touch
Put a muzzle around my mouth, before I speak my own demise
Padded walls resist my force
Break my fall
Lest I stumble and crack my skull
I have no direction yet I see the path
Let me get there, how do I get there
My mind directs me but my thoughts I don’t trust
Padded walls protect me
I need a straitjacket
Retrain me from thine own afflictions
Speak not as I hear voices
Voices that are not clear nor concise
I waste away
I play Russian roulette with time
Misled by the moment
Betrayed by temporary pleasures
Padded walls soften your blow
Time is ticking and I can’t stop it
Pain in moments that have grown into days
Please stop life from beating down on me
I need a refuge
I’m losing control
The misconception that I ever had it
You told me what to do
Yet I couldn’t apply it
I wanted to apply it
Could someone define apply it
Padded walls you lied to me
I feel no comfort nor am I safe
Seeking tranquility
Who opened the door and let them in
Did I let them in
I think I pushed them out
But my thoughts are scattered
I’m lost with no direction
Let me lie here flat, alone, surrounded by these padded walls.
