Madness

Silence wraps around

As the madness seeps down the wall

Twitching eyes meet the gaze of shivered glass

People pile in stepping on one another drowning in the empty feeling

So many voices

Yet the only sound comes from inside the walls

Whispering that you are sane

Shh

You whisper silencing the voices around

Listening to the quiet hum

Before it all starts again

The screaming and crying that the walls say

Silence from all others

Only inside your mind and against the walls

The sound grows back into the roar it had been

Shh

Yet again alone broken pieces cut into the skin

Tearing apart the truth and showing each lie

With everyone around the loneliness grows strong

Withering away into nothing as eyes gaze upon your breaking body

The rainbow they see is another lie

The ground under is breaking

Falling apart into nothing as the darkness lifts up

Nothing left in this dark world every person gone from this life

The sound of pounding breaks into the room

Breaking past the darkness that had appeared and forcing you back to their reality

The lies have returned

Each wall covered in the madness you feel

The twitch in your eye forced to hide

Should have seen this coming

It’s getting old

Wandering back and forth between the truth and whatever is left

Stepping on this broken glass

Sewn back together only to fall again in a different life

Killing the sound of death

Just to wait for it to return once you close your eyes

Still you wait out each day

Holding onto nothing as you drag yourself on

Go just go

It doesn’t matter where since the madness with always follow

Seeping down the walls of your mind drowning you in it

Just go
