stulti et aurum



I'm back where I was.
I see the familiar stone walls covered with scratches, scripture, and graffiti.
The hideout from the noise.
Why listen to their gossip when you can listen to the water drip.         He


My pain felt good here.          no
                                                                                                          told me
The cold ground calling for me to sleep in it's embrace.                                         I
At the mercy of my own thoughts here.                                         couldn't


Plenty of time to think.......or die                                       leave        without  
                                                                                                dying first
Im going ______.                                                                                


I'm back where I wanted to be.
Back home in my cell.                                                                 you


                                                   don't             know
My prison cell is my mind,                                        
and the cell door is always open.                                                       anything about me.....


The prison with no walls.                                          kill myself before time does
The prison with no Guards.
The prison with no  rehab.
The prison where he's the warden.
The Inmates love me here though.                                                           
They keep me plenty company here.
                                                           help yourself to your thoughts.
this is not a happy poem.
