Poetry: The prison of my mind

by Cathryn Windin

Created on: May 06, 2010

Webs of Insanity

The webs of my insanity

Draw people in

As they marvel at

The silk that I can spin.

The webs of my insanity

Catch them and hold them tight

As they scream and struggle

While I take a bite.

The webs of my insanity

Hold the dewdrops of my tears

While people gasp at their shine

And my sadness keeps them near.

The webs of my insanity

Double as my walls-

They help me keep the others out

And to ignore their calls.

The webs of my insanity

Are miserably my home

While my pain leaves me to wander free,

Liberated but alone.
