I Am Madness


I am madness I rave wildly throughout my diseased mind in hope of some sort of sense I cannot focus on one thing for a lengthened period of time Work GPA Sleep Taxes College Money Happiness Where am I to go in the midst of my delusions What dreams am I left with Gone from a child wishing to be a princess To a villain just as depraved as the rest of mankind I am lost I wish to make something of my life But I need someone to tell me how I am desperate Scars and smiles line my life Dark minds and dark screams I call for help but no one can hear you if you are silent I am fighting I look towards the future I search for dreams But that is difficult when my dreams begin morphing into nightmares I am not alone I try to reach out to others so they may not feel as I do Where are the princess and villain now For I am neither I am merely a madman
