I cry
Wet tears
As I lye
In my blood
Not tears of remorse
But tears of relief
Followed the wrong corse
All through my life
Awoke to constant fearfulness
For the horrid hours to come
Little sleep filled with insaneness
Replayed scenes of my existance
An actor just playing my part
In what some people call "life"
So with this knife's blade I start
The journey to end my tormented life
You may believe suicide is wrong or sinful
But don't judge what you don't understand
No suffering and no pain, to end it all
Release the poison as I lye in my blood
Marbles...I think that I've lost them,
Please help me search on the floor.
The last clue I had has disappeared,
And bolted it out of the door.
I once had a plot, now I've lost it,
God Darn!! The stress is too much.
When I try to explain, my words mess up,
And I frequently talk double Dutch.
I'm sick of the sight of my cock ups!
An insaneness that’s totally unique.
I just need a clue, no idea what to do,
I'm beginning to think I'm a freak.
I question my own sensibility,
My rare and treasure trait?
What’s going on, my heads in a mess,
How much more can I possibly take!
In hindsight I spose it's expected,
As I’m fast approaching my prime.
Tropical moments and mood swings,
I’m coming back as a man next time!!

What the hell has become of this?
Everyone and all smells like piss
Just don’t care what it is that I miss
Want any and all to end regardless
Paws burn uncontrollably from likeness
Crimes and endeavors gone on relentless
Eyes full of dementia and psychosis
Fur shines of moon’s luster through darkness
Wind surrounds essence in all fullness
Senses unperturbed through trailing quietness
Claws curve concealing their sharpness
Mind flows schismatic in unrivaled insaneness
Rhapsody of sweet sound rolls in eternalness
Howls bellowed deep within build explosiveness
Night’s form covers all in its vastness
Stars fly through dark sky thoughtless
Tail sways behind in certain loneliness
Nature dragged deep within carelessness
Soul hurts from regretful sickness
Muzzle sheds a tear drowning emotionless
Form non-energized, and without her, lifeless……..
Belligerent and irritated by almost any little thing
Insaneness all around me; craziness is what I bring
Psychosis is not the problem; the problem lies within
Overzealous personality; much absorption sinking in
Liar, cheat and manipulator; trust you should not give
Ambition at its lowest; no longer wanting to live
Racing thoughts; trying to unwind an ultimate goal for an unstable mind
