A poem I wrote after my first suicide attempt. Keep in mind I refer to madness as the fact we are expected to endure and function through this pain essentially untreated.
That Night
The world was silent and still
Madness reigned and ruled
Pain echoed through my soul
Madness sang;
This isn’t right!
To be grounded into this life
To know this endless battle
Understand bodily strife
The world was silent and still
Madness reigned and ruled
Pain echoed through my soul
Madness sang;
Don’t play this game.
I screamed to the night,
It isn’t right!
Silence reigned
The world was silent and still
Madness reigned and ruled
Pain echoed through my soul
I wished to slip away
Silence the pain that way
sought the end denied me
yet stayed.
Never free.
The world spun away
my screams echoed
madness reigned
