Excellence Award in the 'Write Along 2018' competition
Slowly tearing down your sanity;
Drunken on a smile.
Let go of your humanity;
The craziest new style.
Put your hands in the icy fire;
Do you feel its hunger?
Be consumed by aggressive desire;
Bask in its wonder.
They want to steal your crown;
Thieves, therapists and more.
Eyes like vultures observe each breakdown.
Are they planning war?
Do you see that dancing fairy on wings of gold;
Liars whisper she’s not there.
Her fanged smile is malicious and cold.
How dare they confine me to this chair.
