Diagnosis

A Poem by Deron Alexis

Diagnosis

Aghh hell,

What’s wrong with me?

What is this I hear in my head?

“Quiet you demons!”

My mind is a pit

They only get louder

When I try to relax

 

Hark! The screams are deafening

Like deathly black artillery

Drawn by undead cavalry

The bloody cannon blasting

Through barrels made of glass

Send me to the madhouse

What?...Asylum?...Whorehouse?

 

Oh god it’s getting louder

Like claws against glass

Getting loud to make my nose bleed

My ears burn

My head is on fire

And I turn off the lights  


Oh god oh god

My sins stack high

Eleven upon seven

I could climb it to heaven

But would you keep me if I get there?

 

“Please be quiet

So I can sort out my life

Don’t make me do this!”

Send me to the madhouse

What?...Asylum?...Whorehouse?

SCREW YOU!!! Notions of the insane

I’d rather hug my knees in denial

 

Goodness Christ!

They say I lost my mind

But I’ve always been broken

Sanity was never mine.

sounds familiar. You did a great job describing the feeling and agony that goes along with the sounds of voices and demons.

thanks i guess lol XD
I have heard all of this before.. the screeching and screaming of demons in my head. Thankfully I am well medicated at the moment and the voices have stopped. Love that you described so well what goes on in my head. Gave me chills.

Certainly does sound like the pleas of a mad person... maddening sounds whirling about in the head....no peace, no pardon, sounds like hell itself. Twisted and dark, you can feel the angst on this page, well done!
