Amidst Her Mind

Amidst Her Mind

A spiraling staircase leads below to worlds unknown 
 
One sign resides at the top before the first step drops 
———————
l   CAUTION    l
l  enter at own  l
|       RISK        |
———————
            |
            |
            |                             ¥
            |                              |}\\\|
            |————————-|}\\\\|
           ^————————-|}\\\\\|
What thoughts race through a curious mind as you look down 
As far as your eyes can see long and it keeps going 
Other bystanders keep passing by never even taking a look 
Until finally you decide to get close and commit to one step 
WAIT! someone screams in fear for you causing you to back up 
What, wait, huh , what do you mean you mutter confused 
The gentleman says “ you must not be from around here “
If you were then you would know that this stairway is a trap 
You reply back “ what do you mean, I don’t understand “
Just trust me kid it’s not worth your time , you must move on 
Go! Get and never ever be tempted again to consider 
For what lies below none of us know for one mere fact 
Not one soul has ever lived to tell of what is down below 
As you turn to look back down at the endless stairs that spiral 
You look back at the strange man and he’s no where in sight 
Your body gets chills as your mind’s thoughts cross paths 
You are drawn back to that sign but this time it is totally bare 
———————

You start to get creeped out wondering, how this could be ?
But yet that dark black spiral staircase leading down remains 
You put your hand on the top of the rail ¥ as you grasp it firmly 
You lift your right foot to plant down on the first drop...
Don’t ! Someone screams as you retract your foot back 
What do you think you’re doing ? Cant you read the sign ! 
The woman in a dress-suit finishes yelling  at you 
You reply back what do you mean ma'am I’m confused 
She firmly reaches out her arm and points her finger at the sign 
———————
l         NO.       l
l  Trespassing |   
|                      |

            |

            |                             ¥
            |                              |}\\\|
            |————————-|}\\\\|
           ^————————-|}\\\\\|
You plead with her you never read that or those words 
But rather it stated something different before 
She laughed hysterically and scary loud with her head back 
And when she came back to eye level with yours ....... 
 
You couldn’t believe what you saw ..... it’s your ex-girlfriend 
What in the hell? you ask as her hands turn to claws 
The gentleman’s voice from before yells “ I told you so “
Run, Run, Run! He pleads but where? as you’re  cornered 
The staircase the only place left to go as her eyes turn red 
Thorns appear from her hair as her heels explode off 
You feel stuck in place, truly lost not knowing what to do 
She takes her claw and points one last time at that sign 
You look in fear and cannot believe what you read 
———————
l GET OUT OF l
l   MY HEAD     l
| NOW, NOW   |
———————
            |
            |
            |                             ¥
            |                              |}\\\|
