The silence greets its dying victims,
they were once loved too.
Tonight, they lie in white rooms,
individuality just out of reach.
They are the outcasts,
the scum of society.
Like prisoners they are locked away to be forgotten.
So people can smile and be happy,
without disturbances from the mentally ill.
They were forced into isolation,
to live in a world of their own.
The asylum, their palace,
white padded rooms-
a beautiful suite.
Plastic bowls with left overs-
a feast fit for royalty.
Doctors and nurses,
the kings and queens of Euphoric Dementia.
Everyday, the forgotten princes and princesses go on their own quests,
the kings and queens are just too occupied to take note,
of all the frozen wonderlands
caged between sanity
and reality.
The thing that grabs me the most
is that no one bothers to ask
if whether the royal family
would like to share the truth of insanity.
Time for medication,
another heavy sedative to calm the fits.
A blue pill, a yellow one -
and red just for the heck of it.
I am a princes who is caged by her king,
slowly slipping in and out of consciousness,
the darkness always wins.
The light is fading,
the sedatives are setling in,
I need to get out...
Need to live..
I need to...
The silence greets its dying victims.
Euphoric Dementia.

Powerful, deep and extremely imaginative. This is a great piece, though you need to correct a spelling error: 'I am a prinses who is caged by her king'
Thanks for entering.
