I Made a Poem and at Least it Rhymes
During the day, this empty brain
Is filled with bliss, devoid of pain
But the nights come, it teeth full bared
And then I feel my soul ensnared
On very quiet nights, much like this
Desperately craving sleeps passionate kiss
But the thoughts intrude, the storms full brewed
Sweeps aside that once gleeful mood
And leaves instead visions of malice
Please oh God, won’t you take this chalice
Full of pain, regret, and tortured ghosts
I swear I’ll refrain from those empty boasts
That I tell myself when I’m awake
Just so I live without fear of a break
Down in my mind, the demons they whisper
And I can no longer hide, their words become crisper.
