Where am I now?
I do not know... am I in a prison cell?  An asylum?
Or am I just within the terrors of my very own mind?
I remember it all so clearly, yet at the same time it’s all a blur.
This evening the devil has truly possessed me.
Consider this my confession, testimony, what ever you please.
But this is for me, to try to clear my mind of the devastating burdens on my mind, soul, and heart.  Here is my recollection of the evening, that seems both so long ago but at the same time only seconds before now.

The plan had been racing through my mind for quite some time before I acted upon it.
Sweet revenge was running fiercely through my veins.  
Never again would I ever have to hurt in vain.  
But that’s not the only reason I wished this fate upon his soul,
It goes much deeper than that.  
I still remember that night just one week ago,
The terrible night that brought me to do the horrible deeds I’ve committed.
  
He killed him.  Yes that’s right!  He killed him!
My dear true love.  
But did the police ever find out it was him that committed the ******?
NO! Of course they haven’t!  
The person I cared for so much with all my heart, my will to live.  
And with no regard for anything but himself, my nemesis, that evil demon killed him.
The ****** weapon is still unknown to the police, but I know what it was.  
I remember it all so clear.  I was there, you see.  
I can’t say what he did.  
It’s too unbearable to ever tell!  
But there, now you see, my motivation for the unforgivable crime.
  
Then my head pounded!! Excruciating pain ran through me.  
I saw these visions, terrible visions!
The awful screams that racked his body.
I saw my own hands pull the hatchet from my bag
“I killed them all” I muttered.  More tears then ever before.
I said louder and louder, “I killed them all, I killed them all, I KILLED THEM ALL!”
The police surrounded me.  Everything went black.  
Now here I am, where I don’t know... am I mad?
