Euthanized

So restricted
in the confines
of this space
that is mine.
This prison I
myself built
sadly will
not soon wilt.
It was made
from a dream
I wanted to
live in, it seemed,
but now I
know better
as this thing
is now my fetter.

Just as demons
are angels who dared,
this dream is
now a nightmare,
but I cannot
soon awake
from this pigeon
hole, my mistake.
I have sealed
my own destiny,
the final place
of my resting,
as I will not
again rise
but only view
a mind euthanized.
