The orchestra of Death has become an opera!

Telling how I got to be slightly crazy

It was once,

I was a happy, carefree boy.

Then with the death of my love,

Death's orchestra rang through my head.

For years it went,

It's familiar tune always running through me.

It's slowing and quickening ,

Always keeping it in my mind.

Then, as you think it is almost over,

That the song would finally end,

That the musicians would lay down thier instruments,

The booming voice came, and it grew all the louder.

His voice never stops.

It never changes!

It never dies out!

It is always there!

It seems the musicians,

All the more ready to play.

And cruel, horryfying singer,

Is also conducting the show....

They are in my mind,

But also in my heart.

They see what goes on inside,

They have no problem pointing out every flaw.

Will it ever stop? 

Will it ever end?

Will the musicians ever stop playing?!

Will the singer ever get out of my HEAD!!!

That question he has always answered.

He will never stop.

Not until I follow the rhythm of the song.

Not until I surcum to the Opera of Death!  

Author's Note

I have this...voice inside me. It is awful. My mind is split half the time and his voice always comes...it is just the worst feeling in the world. I have had it for many years. At first it started with many shouting my name. But now it's just him. It has a name. Paul. I don't know why it is that. It named itself.

Haha thank you very much

Phantom of the Opera?
Naw. But maybe you're own version...only instead of a love story...you're living a tragedy.

[Boy of the red]

Haha I never thought of it as phantom of the opera.

[ForeverNever]

Me either..until that other person related it to Phantom of the Opera...I guess in a way you could relate the two together...minus the love story and the obvious opera music.

multipersonality? it's a lovely dark poem, I enjoyed reading it. Although it's probably creepy or scary to a have voice like that in your head..

[Boy of the red]

It's scary but after a few years you get used to being scared

Seeing as I just watched Phantom of the Opera, I couldn't help but picture this poem with it, the whole dark tragedy.
