The Warped Song

It's not the money, or the fame, 

Or the taste of my own name,

 I'm not a hypocrite, but I am, 

And the warped song? It damns  

The song is warping into my mind, 

Making my smile seem darker and kind, 

Backwards mumbling of a singer slayed, 

The slurred speech of disturbance played, 

I'm in love with power and manipulating, 

You think I can't- You're underestimating, 

When I look in the mirror I see nothing but cold, 

Can you sell to yourself your own soul?  

This warped song is my reality now, 

And to get rid of it... I don't know how, 

Twisting and burrowing into my brain, 

It's true to that- I'm going insane

A bit dark this warped song you sing.. but that's just you being you..I like this self introspective piece..especially when you ask can you sell yourself your own soul..I'd say yes..you certainly
can..we definitely make our own choices to do good or evil..albeit fate often steps in to play
Its part..nice work Sarah..

thank you so much for your review :P

Well, as long as you enjoy the song! To me, this seems like not a bad place to be in at all. It does make you smile and love own reflection. What I wouldn’t give for this kind of amplified sense of self and power. Most days, I need pick-me-ups and boosters to feel I’m any good at all.

Ah thank you- the message wasn't intended to be appealing but hey, everyones different. This started out when I heard a song plaed backwards and it was so disturbing it stuck in my head. I was freaked out. And I learned later about a sound called infrasound that can cause fear. So I thought about our own evil desires... What If that were like a song stuck in our head that we couldn't get out. Thanks for reading and reviewing :)

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Oh. Songs do get stuck in the head sometimes when played over too many times. A bit annoying but I never had one stuck playing backwards. Sounds creepy as does the infrasound. Like a weapon of warfare or something!
It’s a pleasure :)

[LazerRays]

The pleasure is all mine. And yes- sound is a weapon. (they play infrasound in horror movies to get you easily scared when it comes to jumpscares and that stuff) thanks again for your time :D

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

You are welcome :)

Nah, I still won't call you crazy but hey, we all have our own definitions of being crazy.
I suppose one could sell oneself their own souls but for that you do have to have one (not necessarily pointing at you, generally speaking.)
In a way I do relate to this piece. So, well written.

[LazerRays]

Haha. Yumna this is getting kinda old- isn't it?

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Old in what way? :x

[LazerRays]

You keep saying I'm not crazy. You'd say I wasn't crazy even if I electrocuted myself on a powerline while singing electric love! It's getting kinda old the way you keep denying in a mental nutcase

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Ah hmm, to admit you're crazy would be like admitting I'm crazy too and I'm selfish enough not to do that, lol.
You could sing Paper Love though ;) hahah
