Corners of my mind.

Thoughts that never see the light,
Feelings that betray the sight.
Too timid to raise their head,
So they hide and rot instead.
Finding walls to hide behind,
in the corners of my mind.

There they hide, there they breed.
Born out of an invisible seed.
The little crannies they over-crowd.
The murmurs turn to screeches loud.
Ringing in the dank confines,
of the corners of my mind.

Some days in muted agony pass,
Until they gather critical mass.
Legions of worms finally revolt.
Sending to me the crudest jolt.
Exploding all the sleeping mines,
in the corners of my mind.

Nice one. The first stanza is in Trochaic Tetrameter. The rest of the stanzas have scattered feet, which adds to the beauty.
