I Swear To God... An ode to all poems of insanity

By Malcholm Dark

I swear to God...
I am in pain, I am not well
Horror shall reign, I feel like hell.
I swear to God, I am not me.

I swear to God...
I am in pain, I am not me
Horror shall reign, you'll die for me!
I swear to God, I am not well.

I swear to God...
I cut you up, that's what I did
I sealed you up inside my fridge.
I swear to God, it set me free.

I swear to God...
I cut you up, it set me free
I sealed you up inside of me.
I swear to God, that's what I did.

I swear to God...
You paid the toll, I went too far
A backyard hole, that's where you are.
I swear to God, my axe, my knife.

I swear to God...
You paid the toll, my axe, my knife
A backyard hole--DECAYING life!
I swear to God, I went too far.

I swear to God...
The shrink said, "I can not be freed."
The law said, "I'm an evil breed."
I swear to God, she paid what's due.

I swear to God...
The shrink said, "she had paid what's due."
The law said, "I will pay mine, too."
I swear to God, I can't be freed!

I swear to God...
There is no hope, there is no plea
The hangman's rope will set me free.
I swear to God, there's no glory.

I swear to God...
There is no hope, there's no glory
The hangman's rope ends my story.
I swear to God, there is no plea!

I swear to God...
I fell in flight with death in check
The rope pulled tight around my neck.
I swear to God, I was insane.

I swear to God...
I  fell in flight, I was insane
The rope pulled tight, a snap then pain!
I swear to God, with death in check!

I cut her up, it set me free
I swear to God...
              you set me free!

A former member wrote: Unbound darkness! There are no boundaries for your insanity, are there? :P Loved it!
A former member wrote: This is unique and original even more so then most of your other works. I find this a breath of fresh air compared to the normality of forms of writing out there. I think the imagery and the repitition lent very much so to the poem and I think it threw it over the top.
