Do you feel it? <br />as you walk slowly through the dark, <br />in this fallen neglected labyrinth of the mind, <br />where mold and filth fester upon crumbling walls, <br />and rainwater seeps and falls like tears of the damned, <br />this once great building now diseased and decaying, <br />a parody of the minds once entombed within, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />can you hear the echoes of the screams? <br />from trapped helpless souls that once resided here, <br />lost wandering in a world they could not percieve, <br />inmates confined within a prison of imagined normality, <br />told that the very thoughts that defined them, <br />violated the normal and the sane, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />did you see the shadows move and flicker? <br />showing glimpses into the realms of the tormented, <br />a world of cruel kindness and healing tortures, <br />where madness and sanity walked hand in hand, <br />and the doctors purging guiding light, <br />burned with a bright blue crackling flame... <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />welcome to the asylum......<br /><br />Peter Madden<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-asylum-2/
