Madness descends upon you
But beware the fall
Cause once you do
There's no going back

Just embrace it
And soon you'll realize
It has always been there
Refusing to hide

It's not just love that will drive you mad, it's the idea of it too
When not
Compared to

Anything
You are

*Everything
Writers note:
Comparing often denotes individual worth of something/someone.
Madness  called me the other day
                    
                      {said I was}


                  A liable Prodigè
A quickie.
Madness makes a play thing of me.

By yours truly

I am hollow
I am rage
I am mortal man in cage.

I am peak
I am chasm
I am grotesque ******.

I am hot
I am cold
I am broken, all told.

They love the mask, but I can't breath through it's lies
They love the mask, but I can't see through it's eyes
They love the mask, but I can't speak with it's tongue
They love the mask, but I can't hear when it's on

I've been wearing a mask for so long
Hindering my ability to let people see me for who I really am
It's hard to breathe behind this mask
It's getting hot

Not all poems are sad
Not all poets are depressed
Maybe poets are just a little too happy to think about writing
Until they are alone in a dark place and have no escape but writing*.

Being a poet is writing down words that you're too afraid to ever say aloud.
