Carnage of the mind
Decay of the soul

Mindless misery

Shadowed reason
Pain wracked heart

So long endured
How do I stop?

Does it stop?

Spiraling down into
  eternal
Chaos

Shaped by deprivation
Self?

Madness...

Should I be ok?
What is ‘normal’ anyway?
What is ‘sane’?
What do I feel?
What should I do about it?
I have no idea...

lost...lost...

Madness isn’t happy oblivion!

its....
--heart squeezed tight, too painful to beat
--clenched teeth
--nails digging into flesh
  (to stop the whirlwind in the mind)
--eyes swelled from tears
--hair falling at your feet
  (watching as it falls)
--Walls closing in
--Head feels like bursting!

Madness
  my madness

what’s wrong with me?
        -screams-
