Coup d'état
May 11, 2021
It started as a whisper
Locked away in a prison of the mind
Sometimes it would mutter to itself
About all the choices made
About everything wrong
Eventually outgrowing its cage
It escaped and spread
Lies and fear and doubt
And it grew
Rampaged like an untamed beast
It broke in and stole
Again and again
Until it chose to stay
