[That Place]

There is a place,
I built within.
A place to hide my darkest
Sins.
It’s a peculiar kind of place,
Full of longing and
Ambiance,
It surrounds me.
My dark place.
My sanctuary.
The light fades,
As you walk out
Of the room.
Leaving me doomed in my
Eternal gloom.
Leaving me to this place,
The creatures,
The society.
Is there a place inside of you
Where your secrets hide for cover,
Where your tears come to a screeching stop.
And that plaster smile comes out
To greet your guests?
Ah! They hide in that place.
You know what I’m talking about!
Indeed, I cannot be completely mad
If I know the ways of people.
Or can I?
Of course I can!
You know that place, dear people!
That place that you think know
Ones knows about.
But indeed, I know.
I know that place.
It’s built within my mind.
Fancy me crazy if you must,
But you’re all just blind…


Oh that place of mine.
