My mind has traveled to a different land
Locked behind steel doors.
I call and call but no response.
What has it stranded me for?

I bounce from manic and depressive,
From drooling to jumping around.
I'm flung from screaming, yelling, shaking,
To simply not making a sound.

I did not know my mind had wings
That gave it ability to fly.
It seals no attatchment, is not sentimental,
And cares little for how much I try.

I'll send it love letters and treat it much better
Please, just come back to me.
Because until my mind is trapped forever,
My soul cannot be free.
