Eclipsed

I see my brothers exchanging their sadness for accusation I try to cry but my bitterness eclipses my tears The love I feel is filtered through lenses of pathology I am insane And I keep trying to break out of the asylum But the other inmates who are stronger and more functional And yet more insane than me keep blocking the exits, I am eclipsed by the madness of a generation. On this Island of Dr. Moreau, I fear, but through God I hope, Eclipsed by an invisible love overcoming the madness of a generation, Eclipsed by placid rest until I am ready to fight again. Eclipsed like the fallen sun until sunrise.
