short and sweet poem - Insanity’s Claim

The walls breathe—they see, they grin,

Cracks twist to faces, cruel within.

The light blinks truths I dare not keep,

Shadows rise, devour my sleep.

The air grows thick, it claws at me,

A suffocating calamity.

Their whispers twist like coils of smoke,

Each word a chain, each thought a yoke.

I claw at walls, I carve my name,

But letters writ in dust bring shame.

The mirror shows a stranger’s face,

A hollow form, a void’s embrace.

They stole my name, my life, my mind,

And left behind no trace to find.

The stars above are daggers bright,

Mocking me with their endless light.

My screams rebound, the madness swells,

A symphony of endless hells.

The dark surrounds, it laughs, it taunts,

It feeds upon my desperate haunts.

The walls close in, I can’t escape,

My mind folds in, reshaped, remade.

Madness grins, its eyes aflame,

It whispers low: "You’re mine to claim."
