On the outside
He appears quite sane
A little shy
A little lonely
But otherwise immune to pain
Being generally ignored
By others
Has made him lead
A purely theoretical life
But his psychopathic nightmares
Have a dark internal meaning
Underneath the surface
A trigger happy
Pistol junkie
Waits, gun in hand

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not but I could really relate to this poem. It has to be one of my all time favorites.

This is fabulous. Explores the mind of a psycopath in so few words but encompasses it perfectly. Extremely well done. I would greatly appreciate it if you could check out some of my stuff! Be as honest as you please.

It's scarry, how accurate that poem is. Shows warning of something that happens too often. Shows how fake an appearence can be, when other's scorn at originality.
