Bats and Sanity

The bats in the belfry flutter and romp
In a mind already cluttered with scattered thoughts.
They tear up the papers and shred the colors
Of distant skies from long lost remembrances.
Their flapping stirs the pictures
Bringing memories to mind,
But throwing close kept secrets to the attic ceiling.
There's a single light there dangling from a lonely string
Rustled by the breeze meandering through the cracks.
And all the while a smile sits upon your face
Falsely reassuring peace to the occasional passerby.
But behind your aching, smiling cheeks you crouch

In your attic watching your sanity fly.
