Pain To Insane

Feel the claws dig into your flesh
Your eyes dance with this pain
Gasping as each slice flares anew
Everyone staring as you go insane

Beads of sweat line your face
Fierce claws tear you up inside
Trying once more to end your pain
From everyone your insanity to hide

Your jaws are clenched so tightly
Keeping in all your swallowed screams
The pain threatens to break your silence
You are pressed to the extremes

Pounding heart beats against your chest
Clawed up from all your raw emotions
Your will buckles your knees from fear
This pain to your insanity a potent potion

You pick up the blade pressing it to head
Breathing slowly and deeply for once calm
The pain is inside you now forgotten until...
You grab the knife slicing your palm

Your will to resist is forever broken
The pain is being released in its own way
Your insanity is taxed you’ve opened the gate
Perhaps you can stop this cycle another day
