Shut down

Close your eyes
fantasize
block out the real world
deaf to distractions
blind to responsiblities.

Sleep, sleep, sleep
weep, weep, weep
close the door
lock it tight
and crawl into yourself
with nobody else
screaming in your own mind
hiding 
so they never find
the cruel madness
that is your bondage
when you shut down.
