Madness
MADNESS
All of my true best friends are dead
Swallowed by this world
Choked by their own tongues
Which couldn't speak their torment
Which couldn't voice their dread
Quiet!
All the powerful ones said,
After all,
It's all inside your head
Keep it inside
You don't deserve your tears
Sadness?
A guilt you have to hide
So to themselves,
above all,
they lied.
Smile!
Show your cheese-cloth teeth
laugh,
and don't bother me
with your grief.
