Array ( [sid] => 81266 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Darkness Falls [time] => 2005-01-24 14:33:15 [hometext] => I wrote this about two weeks ago. I was in a very dark place and not doing so good. It actually scares me now that I can sit back with a clear head and read it. Please comment. Thanks [bodytext] => I'm afraid that I am psychotic.
I thrive on the misfortunes of others
and I cause most of it.

I'm evil through and through
and yet the worst part is that
I'm normal to you.

I make jokes saying that
I will kill people in morbid and
unimaginable ways but truth is
I've actually thought about it.

What would it be like to kill someone?
What would it be like to kill myself?
What is death like?
I ask myself this on a daily basis.

My perception of reality is more twisted
than the world in which we live.
I laugh. At you. At me. At life. At death.

I wonder what would happen if I took 100 tylenol 3's.
Would I feel pain as I overdose or
would I fall asleep and never wake up?

And if I take this neverending leap into darkness
will I land in my hell or in your heaven?
Will I be forced to re-live the life I hate
or will I be left to destroy another.

Is this what happens when the pain becomes too much?
Do we slowly slip into insanity?
Were these morbid fantasies lying dormant in a
shattered mind or will I wake to find this is just a nightmare
with no ending?

If this is a living nightmare then what do I see when I close my eyes at the end of the day?
Do I see the future in a subconcious light?
Do I see anything at all?
Do I see darkenss as it falls?

tylenol causes your kydneys to shut down..internal bleeding, it's very painful but you don't die from it.
It's a lot of stomach problems and they do surgery.. you go on dialysis .. lifelong suffering but you don't die..

i think this is such a powerful self dwelving poem, very strong and true, ive felt like this many times, morbid dark, like killing myself. maybe things would be brighter and better and more fun and more peacefull on the other side, but the question is, are we going to risk it? it is a massive risk, the biggest in human and immortal life. its dwn to you as an individual, are you ready to take the dive? or is it too high just yet....

I think you would puke a lot...

But back to your writing, I enjoyed this. It was not a beautiful peice of poetry, but it was gritty and real. The questions we ask ourselves, I wonder if they will ever be answered... GOod write sweetie.
