Agony

A.W. Nutter To many voices inside my head Each one vying for recognition Toward insanity I’m being led Normality forced into remission A child screams out in his agony Suffering at the hands of the beast Innocence destroyed aggressively Lamb, the main course at the feast An angry teen searching for love Finds a young girl full of empathy Their child is taken by God above The teen screams out in his agony Trying to survive a politicians war As I look at my hands so bloody Friends dying, demanding more As my spirit screams out in agony My time in hell I can easily trace Life's journey has never been kind Past memories wishing to embrace The final vestibules of my mind The love of my life is my buoy Guiding me away from the pain Keeping me anchored in reality The demons efforts made in vain
