Insanity

Darknee closes tightly around me.
Like the pitch dark night outside.

No light can penetrate inside of the darknes.
Inside the darkness the monsters hide.

I feel as if I'm stumblig blind through a maze of pain..
The voices inside my head reminds me I'm slowly going insane.

I try to reach out for something, anything to keep from falling.
Yet I still hear the voices calling.

The blood flows from the wounds,Ireceived on the pathway of thorns.
My head trobs from sounds  that sound like  orchestra horns

The ghastly visions are stalking me again.
No way can I stop this feeling of going insane

All I can do is kneel and cry.
Pray for the peace I will receive when I die.

Maybe when I reach the end of the road
I will find the peace that I thirst.
For it was forth told to me 
If the Insanity doesn't kill me first

I'm set in my ways and head stong for my own good.
All I can do for now is to carry on.
Hope there will be a light for me.
Somewhere , outthere when I reach the Great Beyond

Sadly, I can relate to the dark feelings you express so well, Robert. We can only "Pray for the peace" in this life and the next. A very thought-provoking write!
