Poem Title:
Poem
Running, running, get away, move aside! I can't stay! Time is gone and I must go hurry now, move too slow. Heart is racing, pounding loud press myself against the crowd. Watching others hurry on, ticking clock, move along. Can't stop now I smell the fear of those that stop and linger near. Quickly, quickly, time to leave, Father Time there's no reprieve. Running, running, get away, from my mind I cannot stray! Eager thoughts that haunt my head, every moment turned to dread. From this prison, must escape or leave to time my soul to rape! Running rampant, eager thought red streaked vision, can't be caught! Heart is racing pounding loud emotions seething, darkened shroud. Mind will falter soon I know melting dreams that ebb and flow. Running, running, get away, can't break free, must obey! Vicious needs draw ever near, fight I must against the fear. Hands on me, the straps draw tighter motionless I fight the niter. Tightened crowd drawing closer Leave me now, you saintly poser! Help me not, no need to linger take from me your putrid finger! I can hear you softly speaking, honey venom from lips leaking. ---------- "No outburst today Doctor, completely catatonic, although his eyes have begun to twitch rapidly like when he had the last one." "Thank you, Nurse. I'll be careful." "What do you think goes on in his sick little mind?" "He has no regular or discernible brain waves, probably nothing at all... Broccoli." "What?" "He's a vegetable." ---------- Let me out, anger growing, veins are pulsing, head exploding! 09/20/15 Dark & Twisted Contest-HM Nathan D. 10/16/2015
