Madness

by shadow   May 15, 2011


The blackness swallows up my soul
Hopelessness consuming my being
I can't believe it has gotten this far
I can't believe what it is that I'm seeing

Like thorn-covered vines tearing at my flesh
This depression creeps its way inside
Changing me as it dampens my heart
Leaving ugly scars that I cannot hide

Moving through with such ease
Like an angry snake full of deadly poison
Slithering in and out of my thoughts
As if from the day I was born, this was chosen

A hard outer shell begins to form around me
Trapping my mind inside its walls
I scream and beg and plead for it to stop
But it refuses to listen to any of my calls

These final moments will be my last
The evil soaks in creating my madness
Feeding off any sanity that I had left
And leaving only a trail of bitter sadness
