Sirens

by Lady Nik   May 27, 2009


Sirens are going off in my head.
Maybe from the ambulance, coming around the corner.
These people are ready to put me in my straight jacket.
This might make me break my bad habit.
But deep inside I'm cracking up.
As they tie me up, to make me feel stuck.
They think they're so tough.
But really I'm not strong enough.

I'm still laughing as they try to change me.
Yeah i know I'm crazy.
So put me in this padded room and let me be.
I'll be insane because that works for me.
I'm not really screaming, that's just what you hear. Don't worry because I hear voices.
So many voices, giving me bad advice.
Telling me to end my life.

I'm so shallow but you never cared.
Now you can see that I was never scared.
I would tear myself apart piece by piece.
Before I would let this sickness kill me.
Just give me a bottle of painkillers.
I'll take them all now, and never see this place again. So I'll sleep like a baby tonight, as I'm strapped down to my bed.
Sirens are going off in my head.

    The timing, rythme and ryme are all over the place, never settling down, causing it to be difficult and incoherent. The wording and subject matter are alright, but never really leave any impression at all. Sorry

    Peace and prosperity,

    Wow. This is a great poem. I was not sure if I would get any really great poems to comment on, but the outcome has been terrific. This poem captures your feelings perfectly, and it is honestly one of the best flowing poems I've ever read. Had a little rap to it almost. I really, really liked this one, added to my favs even :). Great job.
