Thoughts of You and More

Mask Of Madness

In a pit,

Steep-

Deep;

Freedom-

Out of reach;

Too high,

Too far-

Can't leap;

Trapped..

Far too long..

Too long..

Sanity-

Can't keep;

Mind-

Slipped,

Ripped;

Flipped;

Perception-

Tipped;

World-

Tricked;

Life-

A script;

A sift-

From chaos;

A rift;

A mask,

A mist-

Never to unlift;

A cliff-

Teeter-

Mortality's risk;

A theater-

Where monsters frisk;

Silent, brisk-

Not a word lipped;

Visage-

A smile slick;

Mouth-

A gruesome streak;

Etched-

A grin sick;

Happiness-

Only skin deep;

Beneath-

Sadness creeps;

Demented-

Never sleeps
