the shining lights eat my dreams
they whisper inside my brain
little demons that sit upon my thoughts
whispering false truths
paranoid deceptions
misshapen devils
riding my brains crashing waves
laughing spiteful glee
at each vocalization
of perceptions aborted
long bony fingers stroke
kneeding anxieties that creep
stealthily resting upon every thought
held tight within their gentle strangle grip
playing a repetitious tune
trapped within flesh
an intricate bone cage
ideas constantly born
turn upon each other
ripping at their fragile structure
such a brilliant mind
cut from normalities moorings
wanders a lonely stream
fed by the overflow
of its own fallibility
