The Madness

When you give up the fight one starts to sink into the depths of a sickly-sweet world of the madness that lies dark and dormant, into the deadly grip of the madness deep inside you When you surrender every last drop of sanity to the insane conscious in the back of your mind the worlds of fear and pain become meaningless to the soul, they become numb and distant, made into nothingness and yet they are the ruins that remain standing When you submit to the demon of insanity one is consumed by the unpredictable inconstant, suffers the loss of the ever constant and withdraws into a lost and unknown world where reality in a distant memory and isolation is society When the madness dominates your life all self control and restraint are abandoned because fear is no longer there to guide them one becomes reckless and unreasonable the reality that was once in control, simply vanishes and arrives at a place where the real becomes unreal The place where madness ensconces your mind Where the madness is deep inside your mind there its eternally lurking in the depths of one’s subconscious, the madness constantly stirs up the nightmares of hell and it forever says in its restless trance, watching and waiting, the madness sits inside us quietly, till one slips into its baneful grasp
