Shadows of Madness

I take the pill and deep I go, Where deep wishes and passions flow Unbidden by the morals of the common world, Inside my mind, in the netherworld, I bear witness to tremors of ecstasy, To love, power and impunity, Where rape and slaying is normality, Desire, passion is totality. Scary emotions overcome me My own history of reality is insanity The end of the world engulfs me. Bringing my thoughts to their knees of immorality. And then I wake up in reality My thoughts scattered without loyalty Crumpled under my desire for newness For traveling in the shadows of madness.
