I Know I've Lost My Mind, Because...

I Know I've Lost My Mind, Because...

A Poem by taboo.poet

Warning: dark poem

"

I think I've lost my mind again,

I don't know what I was thinking.

It all began hours ago

when I started drinking.

I knew I really shouldn't

but I did it anyways,

I needed some liquid courage

to talk to the girl around the way.

 

But once I started I knew

 that I couldn't put it down.

I took one shot, and then another,

til' my head spun round n' round.

I saw the girl around the way

and I walked towards her.

And I must admit I made a mistake

and forced myself on to her.

 

I know I've lost my mind again

because then she started screaming,

I hit her so she'd just shut up

and then she started bleeding.

I know I've lost my mind again,

cuz now the girl is dead.

I know I've lost my mind again

cuz now my hands are red.

 

I need another drink

before I'm sent back home to prison.

I can't believe I put myself

back in this position.

It started with just one drink...

this wasn't what I had envisioned.

I only wanted the loving

that I had so long been missin'.

 

I hid her body somewhere obvious

cuz I'm terrified of myself.

I don't want to keep doing this;

no matter how good it felt.

I smoke a cigar outside my house

til I hear the sirens finally come.

It's safe to go back outside

because the killer is finally gone,

 

The prison psychologist finally asks me

why I think that I've gone mad.

I tell him it's because I'm haunted

by the women fighting back.

He asks if I think I'm safe

or if I'll commit the same sin.

I say, "I know I've lost my mind because

I want to do it again."

You write darker than me!!! This was good, and has a lot of truth in it. I'm not saying you did anything ,because the poem is told by a guy. But things like this do happen, sadly enough. I like this new dark stuff you have here.
