Mania Developed

Listen to poem:
At The Mountains of Madness Contest Sponsor: Timothy Hicks Mountains of Madness Mania developed above the mounts of my glory Abandoned at two and you never knew my story Delirium confirmed in the break of the morn’ Nasty lies were told since the day I was born Expected failure from the world’s point of view Severe anger in a frenzy with no inner value Sanctified insanity, but no one ever knew Sincere lunacy condemns my emotions, Higher than the hills yet low enough to fail, My craze developed into a strange devotion, I keep running in circles just chasing my tail. I’m in a lost box without sanity awoken, Insane from the peak of the tall heap, From the darkened absurdity, my legs broken, My preposterous lows keep hiking too steep. I’ve seen many days of ludicrous conditions, And many moments of being foolishly sad, To all the made up mountains of renditions, I’ve become demented and psychologically mad.
