No Key

Four padded walls ... covered white, shredded.

Locked within the mind, this is my sentence,
strapped down and sedated within, trance like
state, catatonic and useless.

I want out ...

I can't find the key. I thought I'd placed it some
where safe, so this would not happen. Yet, here
I stand, looking stupid in the middle of my mind.

Then I look, only to find that there is no door to
speak of. There are only four walls to stare at,
with a floor and a rather low ceiling, which does
seem to be shrinking.

Maybe it's just me, my imagination.

There is no door, so there is no key.

Your form is incredibly complimentative to your poetry and your words. Not to mention the "story line" behind it is pretty well thought out and written. Interesting, intriguing and makes you think.

Blessings, + Brittany
