Wander with me through my mind if you dare
Even I get lost in the maze sometimes
So many hallways, too many doors of mystery

Controlled thinking--that's what is acceptable
I can't let my mind wander to natural places

So many questions, wants, needs, desires--(sex?)
No! Not allowed! Push it away and close that door!
But why? Isn't it a natural part of being alive?

I hear most of what you say, understandable words
Not your fault that you make no sense I suppose

How is it that we have become so alone in this life?
Many are close enough to reach out and touch
Yet I can't breathe the same air as they do

Be careful talking to me, be wary of your actions
I have been trained to find fault and condemn

I will never be enough, nor will I ever have enough
Another irritating human trait I suppose
Or do we just seek what we really don't need?

I feed upon smiles, seek shelter in words
When all else fails, I find sanctuary in my mind
