In my head it's like a zoo,
chaos, the madness,
in confined space,
locked up.

The thoughts are like animals,
they want to be free,
but they dont know how to escape.
So they just stay there,
watching, waiting.

The zookeeper locks them away,
dangles the keys in front of them,
taunting,
for she knows of the danger it would bring,
if she would set them free
