Going Mad

I'm going mad.

I'm pacing back and forth in my room,

I'm grabbing my head with both hands,

Then putting them back down.

I walk directly to the mirror,

And I can see the tears in my eyes.

I scream at the person I see,

Then I punch the mirror and watch it shatter,

As it falls down slowly.


I'm going mad.

After I punch the mirror,

My hand is now cut up, dripping with blood,

And with all the thoughts in my head,

I can't even focus on one.

I'm gripping my head again,

And I begin tearing out my hair from my skin.

I don't even feel the pain,

Because my mind is pumping me full of adrenaline.


I'm going mad.

"Why?" you might ask.

Well aside from all my rampant thoughts,

I can't stand the person I am.

But you already knew that,

So now all the words I had to say are lost.

And now I just sit here,

Head mostly bald, blood covering me, as I press up and stain the wall.


Now I'm crying, and my mind is stuck in awe,

Because when I look at myself,

I can't even see myself at all.

I just see a monster,

A demon,

An insidious creature,

Something that shouldn't be allowed to live amongst us all.
