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.
