I locked my body within
these padded walls
and whispered that it was
for my own good.


I locked my heart in some
desolate tower,
a few loose stones from
collapsing.


I locked my mind in its
pre-designed cage,
to protect and torture it
at the same time.


I've lived in isolation for
so long,
the darkness has made
friends for me.
