Asylum, But No Sanctuary by ~torturegoddess:icontorturegoddess:



Crazy?
I was crazy once.
My body twitched,
And wouldn't stop,
But rocking helped.
Saw the images,
Inside my eyes.
Can't describe them.
No.  Won't.
Did my time,
In a place without shoelaces.
But for me,
There is no
Better living through chemistry.
I conquered these demons myself,
And am ever on the alert
For their return.
That time is still raw in my brain,
Though years have passed between,
Can't fix upon upon it
Without little tremors.
But I made me okay.
I fixed this myself.
And I will not be considered
Weak or piteous or at fault
For being overwhelmed.
Even the greatest warrior
Can fall in an ambush.

Meanwhile I talk to myself, as one who has plenty of time. No one tells me anything new; so I tell myself to myself.
:icontorturegoddess:
Thank you. Yes, but I felt that it was time to get it out.
:iconjaggy:
It's great. I like it. Some gorgeous lines

Guess my life is a compromise.
:iconreznorock:
just another echo of what youve been through, could have let it out long ago if you had gotten some support from so called friends , or if id been enough, but its past and gone and the phoenix is still rising from the ashes

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
