Delirious Symphony
Delirious symphony
Starring: Nothing
And an invisible orchestra looming,
Spin around inside my head
With an
Incandescent
Booming.
Creating delicious agony,
Which bores to the core of my being
And fills the holes with curses and woes
It weighs me down, forcing me to drown,
In a pain that
No
One
Knows.
The conductor of this cacophony
Is a depraved friend of Death:
She walks by his blackened side
As half a horseman of impending doom
With a cold gun of nightmares that rests
Against
Your
Hide.
Both are silent terrors
She and Death akin
Waiting to seal a horrible fate
And if you can’t spot the macabre pair
It may be
Much
Too
Late
You may ask, “Who is this harpy?”
She is not Pestilence, War, or Famine’
But she lives within your Id;
Yet she rides with those four horsemen
And her presence
Is
Seldom
Hid.
She is unlike death, who can be held back
But always comes back to haunt
Death’s siren friend can be fought off
She’ll entice you with an easy way out
If you believe life is
All
For
Not
“How can she be driven away,
When she stalks me through my life?”
You block out her song,
Run away from her embrace,
And sort out your sense of
Right
And
Wrong
Don’t fight her alone:
Take her in scores
With the voices of the many,
Raise your voice
With courage and hope a plenty,
For I have listened to this siren’s song,
Blocked out the whispers;
Lived to sail through rough waters again
To tell of the siren named Suicide
And make sure the
Hag
Is
Slain.

This piece is one I wrote about the social epidemic of suicide and its presence in the minds of those enticed by the option of a permant solution, as well as giving the advice of someone who had been through those same emotions.
