The Onset of Madness

The Onset of madness What demons lurk in waiting beyond my hope of knowing Why is my TV talking Whispering slyly to me As my anxiety carries on growing. I surface from nightmares sweating then plunge back into stunned confusion. Angry lights flickering in my eyes That only I can see in life' s ever shifting illusion I grasp in vain for reality but instead claw only darkness. strain to hear the constant voices plotting my downfall next door O God! My head is a mess! Will I ever escape the tentacles squirming over my face silence the voices and TV' s opinions snuff out the lights , illuminate darkness and rejoin the human race.
