In My Mind

I cradled it in my mind,
like a baby
in all it's innocence
and idiocy.

I soothed it in my mind,
like a baby
with all it's incessant
crying.

I fed it in my mind,
like a baby
and it's indominatable
hunger.

But it controls my mind,
unlike a baby
with it's gentle
innocence.

It eats away at my mind,
unlike a baby
and it's blatant
ignorance.

It desecrates my mind,
all that matters
and all that I have
left.
