Favorite Quote:
"It must have a 'natural' cause."


A painful reality where I am forced to dwell,
Rude words and actions make it my personal hell,
Abandon my sanity,
Free myself from their vanity,
A chorus of screams,
Delightful cries,
And I smile.

My tormentors destroyed,
Now I am annoyed,
The voices begin to tickle,
Madness began in a trickle from a drop,
Now I can't stop,
My mind has become a river, a mirror,
The opposite of clear,
A whisper in my ear,
The end is now near.

The demons in blue are here,
A scream drenched in madness,
With a glimmer of gladness,
Made dimmer by sadness,
Of a useless life now lost.

My life's blood runs red,
The demons claim my head,
Now for once and for all I am dead,
And I smile.

A scary little poem I wrote to show up my friend. It was written when I had a study hall with no work to do, and felt the need to complete the creative writing class's Halloween assignment, despite the fact that I am not in the class.
