I sit all alone and I wonder who I am.
Is this existance real or only a sham?
I hear voices inside of my muddled head;
I giggle, but they are best left unsaid.
Wizards and Muggles mill around my brain;
They're friends with whom I share my pain.
The sleeves of my jacket are secured behind;
Alone in my cell, I'm slowly losing my mind.

This is a very deep poem
The voices within the inner cell walls of the mind everyone has them .Only if you ever use drugs they go from a whisper often unheard to a shout . Never take the barriers down for they will muggle your mind AND
and to get help is the only way out to silence the inner droid that keeps you so unhappy the one unleashed by drugs stop the drugs and stop the screams from within

I can identify! An adorable poem for the mentally challenged shall we say? I've never worn a straight jacket but...suffice to say.

I am glad you enjoyed the poem. Some days I feel as if the only reason I have not worn a strait jacket is because they have not got me yet.
