How do you define madness? Can madness be cured at all? Is madness just a logical extension, an illness gone on for too long? What is madness, in a world of infinite possibilities? Is madness triggered by too much choice and the power of free will?

I bow my head before you / I bow as deep as I can / I bow without tipping over / this is all I can give / this is all I am

There is a ghost inside me / as I age it smiles and waits / there is a soul around me / as I progress it withers / there are questions lingering / about purpose and paths ahead / they will not tell me / so I wait

He gave up love on a whim / desires distorted by thoughts / thoughts corrupted by desires / love the ultimate loss / he gives no more / capricious fool

Fingerprinted and lip stained / the glass is tainted / empty yet useful / tomorrow I will remember / regret and surrender / again and again and again

blood rain / the streets awash with red / I do not understand / blood rain / my feet covered in what? / blood from death? / blood from birth? / blood from the petty veins of a poet suffering? / blood rain / falling / blood rain / covering my world

I pry my eyes open / to awaken the beast within / a crowbar of the lesser kind / only painful memories leveraging / I pry my eyes open / I awaken once again / not long before the numbing starts / repeat and repeating still
