My time in Mindsprings

I remember it fondly

being almost beat to death

but only mentally.


They tried to fix me

by hitting my mind harder

I was told I’d be trapped forever

and saw someone almost martyred

they ate a piece of velcro

and themselves they almost slaughtered


Oh my time in Mindsprings

I remember it potently

the halls were so small

and the floor so pointy


I was taken there by strangers

in a van through the thick of night

the receptionist was gone when I got there

and I could smell throughout the air, a blight


And in my times in Mindsprings

I was restrained by the things

they grabbed and tackled

and whispered to my

“You’ll never go home

to see the light of day again”

and all of this happened

when I was about ten
