"Are you mad?"
People ask me this question so many times I don't know any more.
Am I mad
I don't know.
You tell me.
Every time they put me in the asylum,
I pay close attention to everything.
The route,
How tight the security is,
If there are any cameras,
EVERYTHING.
I have a very vivid and reliable memory
I pay close attention.
I stay for a bit,
adding new bits of information.
Then eventually,
I escape.
I have a strange hobby.
I have the need to stab something,
At least once a day.
Doesn't matter what,
Doesn't matter how,
I just do.
Something about screams and blood excite me.
It doesn't actually have to be stabbing,
Just as long as the screams and blood is there.
If I don't my hands twitch,
Then my head,
And when I'm unconscious,
For example when I'm sleeping,
It just happens.
So am I mad?
I don't know any more.
YOU TELL ME.
