Assault on the mind

Strike to the psyche

Strapped to a chair

The vision is forced

Calamity of the world

Bearing the lesion of its woes

Conscientious mind denied the right to choose

Born

Bred to despair

Groomed to believe

To accept all their truths

Warped

Minds

Fall

Ill

Hollowed out without a presence in the looking glass

Failing

Deluded

Only stains remain

The smudges of their consequence

Exile

Secluded

Inside the feigned echoes of a faint memory
