A Little Insane
I have a lot of hate in my heart;
That's how poems like this start.
It's why even during the best of times,
I come up with the darkest rhymes.
You might think I'm a little nuts,
But if you think you have the guts.
Try living a life of pain,
With only loss and no gain;
A life with no hope,
With nothing for anyone to grope.
To try to hold on to and stay alive
Just so you can say you could survive
In this wondrous place called life,
A place filled with only strife.
Live a life only the loveless know,
Where you see your blood and watch it flow.
And the burning feeling from within
makes you feel like you can not win.
And then after this, you see,
I will say "Come to me."
And you will do so in a way
that will haunt your dying day:
Crying out your last tear,
Saying words I long to hear,
"Now I know what you said,
About what goes on in your head.
And I want you to know
Before I really have to go.
I am a little insane too,
A littlet insane just like you."
