Silhouettes

They come in the night when there's no light.

Silhouettes
Following you,
Watching your every move,
You lose your mind,
With every droning lie,
That parts from its lips,
You scream and shout,
You doubt your thoughts,
When you see the silhouettes of the fallen,
The broken,
With unspoken fears,
Tears fall from your eyes,
As the darkness surrounds you,
Around you is all of your mistakes,
As they whisper in your ear,
All that you don't want to hear,
It Sears your mind,
They tell you all in good time,
You'll be alright,
Your then outfitted with a disorder,
And given orders,
And told you'll be ok as long as you take your medication with dedication,
They say you won't feel any pain,
But your drained,
You don't feel any pain In fact you don't feel anything,
but your insanity.

Great metaphor use here lonewolf! The silhouettes being the insanity .. You have it a voice! I think a lot of people will actually be able to relate to this piece as it could cover depression too, that feeling of isolation, the negativity of feeling not yourself and no one understanding as you are drowning on the inside!
You caputre this really well!
Great write !!

Wow this was a cool write! The act of slowly slipping into insanity. You did this very well for just wondering what it would feel like, I can't help but feel its pretty accurate. Great one :)

Hey Wolf, a silhouette you had captured here and wrapped
It around your body as a restraint,,, a statement of help,,
We live in an insane asylum called earth,, your free verse
Style is very cool Men, thanks! :-)
