At the Mountains of Madness

I hunger for crumbs that others discard As I crawl through the sewers whose treasures I guard I'm silent and deafening as on nightmares I creep At the mountains of madness is where I find sleep. Today's a good day, I might give you a wink As you shudder and hurry away from my stink And that's when the voices and longings increase At the mountains of madness I find me some peace. Don't worry, you can't catch what's eating my soul No more than some pills and a shrink make me whole I've pleaded and begged that I'd die or be healed At the mountains of madness is where I have kneeled. The voices are louder and I'm shrinking in size I'm screaming for help but It swallows my cries I want it to end but I'm tired and I'm stumped At the mountains of madness, I finally jumped. Date: 2016
