The Mental Storm

A storm just swept through my mind
Its wind just took me away
The world is about to find
My sanity lost today

Do you hear the thunder roll
It echoes loud with sadness
My life has taken its toll
And all that's left is madness

To conceive a master plan
I wait for the rains to fall
The enemy now of man
I'll be the death of you all

The barometer has dropped
My mind is finally gone
The rain has finally stopped
But the storm still rages on

I imagine this brings the mindset of a school shooter or other mass killer. Frightening

Thanks Tom, I wrote another one similar to this after the shooting at Michigan State. There's just way too much mental illness that's going unchecked in this country that needs to be addressed. I like to reflect that in my poems from time to time as a reminder.
