Refract-urged...

The room closing in Composure broken, my shadowed imagination is about to begin...

Ceiling fan spinning hurricanes my way

I close my eyes & see the uncertainty come out to play

Ants marching across town

I feel each motion so strong, I swear the hotels coming down

Shivers consume my heart like finger tips digging into my very soul

Among the chaos sparks a thought feeding burning fears like coal

The mirror shows something running back & forth, getting louder in its insanity

It laughs in whispers, eyes racing, trying to find more humanity

Delve into the pillow so low, the bottom rises as you fall

Out of the depths of it all, it calmly begins to call

Scattered about the room, emotion sleeps quivering at the silence

The doll of something familiar sits, waiting for a sign of violence

No noise from its demands

It bares drawn teeth, as it clenches solid hands

Fragrance fills the nose that can never take in any sense

Ever cut from its strings, it stands forever tense

Beneath the bottom of it's cold being

With a deep breath, I open my eyes again, & remember, it's not something I'm really seeing

Slivers of light from the windows glow to show I never had anything to control...

Voices, choices, bare to care, I look among the unseen mirror & see what I choose

If it's a battle against my own demons, I'll lose...
