Sanity is Bliss

Sanity is Bliss

A Poem by ~Nina~
"

It occasionally crosses my mind that sanity is ever so boring... -CONTAINS VIOLENCE AND GORE-

"
Blood trickles down from the wall and drips onto the floor,
I slump away in the corner, gnawing my fingernails, wishing for more.

The screeches in my ear, the shadows darting by,
The figure sitting beside me, singing a lullaby.

I spot ghosts, demons, creatures and ghouls,
A large fiend devours me whole.

I am surrounded by beasts,
I am their feast.

They will gorge down my heart,
Tear my own flesh apart.

They will abandon the bones,
Leave the rest to Unknowns.

Then, I will awake in the same room,
Where I will stay till my doom.

The clock ticks,
Blood drips.

Knives glimmer,
Teeth shimmer.

Beings shriek,
Tears leak.

Goodnight, blood.
Goodnight, knife.
What a pleasant time it has been.
Goodnight, room.
Goodnight, insanity.
Until we meet again.

Yes, i feel insanity pressing down on me every day of my life, but I believe it's necessary when you are a writer :D I love how you call it "Sanity is Bliss" and the inner voice is insane.

Thank you!
Captures the spirit and terrors of maddness very well but does not fall into the pit thanks to the last lines. Nicely done.

Thanks!
This is definitely one of my favorite of your pieces. It's an interesting work and it isn't overly creepy. It's more intriguing than creepy for sure.

Thank you! I exceedingly love writing 'creepy' pieces since I, myself, can be a little dark and scar.. read more
