Madness in the Heartbeat

By Tear of Prometheus

Madness

Do I know

No I do not

But I show

The sign

Left on those who were struck by it

Emerging from a bottomless pit

A black hole in the ground

Free of light free of sound

I´m shaking and screaming at the edge

But in the end it´s all in my head

Screw it I might wet my bed

If this nightmare doesn´t end I might as well

Be dead

Madness

Does Know

Me

It's when you don't see your own madness that you can become unhinged. I battle my demons daily. Sometimes they win. Sometime they really win and I'm off to the "spa" for a "rest". JD
