Dark

Dark is the insanity 
which lays in wait and plays
among the cluttered thoughts and fields of my mind 
consuming in its hunger 
every hope and dream that were
always hungry for a piece of mind
making ill depression stir

Dark is the nightmare of my life
filled with shadows of horror which surround me
seeming like a dream and yet it is cruel reality
adding death to schizophrenia and pain
daggers of hatred and dementia stab
to draw my blood and let it fall
like drops of burning fire alight
that none can see or feel but me

Dark are the storm clouds in my sights
drawing about as the end approaches
resolution lies in spilt blood
the gleaming blade shining under the moon
setting off the reaper's scythe
which falls to me as I accept my fate
