Nothing
Don't see anything here
Dusty, old, deserted place
Whatever was here has gone a long time ago
Left nothing behind
But dust
A lot of useless dust,
Ripped up pages
from a book
Where's the cover?
Even that has been taken
Don't see anything worth anything here
Gotta leave
Gotta get out
One question
Can you get out of your own mind?

Hi Joy!!

Very Good descriptive usage here,
It brought thoughts of seclusion, desertion,
abandonment and Isolation and, the ending was very surprising because it was a good question...

Your words create a vivid picture in my mind...this is a poem with a very clever twist at the end....I hope you no longer have the need to escape your mind. Rather stay there and draw from it some more beautiful poetry!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Joy,

Interesting poem.
"Can you get out of your own mind?"  Yes, but you have to clear out those cobwebs first.
