Madness within

There's a madness inside me Its chaos echoes off my soul like thunder Crashing into me like waves of darkness Pulling me under into the depths of my very own hell I struggle to breathe, to keep myself afloat Slashing around, I fight to break free But the pull is too strong, and my strength begins to plunder Now gasping for air, i inhale but choke on its harshness Searching and reaching for someone to save me, I scream, and I yell My voice is broken and raw, the bitter taste of blood in my throat I continue to scream, praying that someone, anyone,will hear me But nobody comes and I begin to realize how much easier it would be to let myself go under Allow myself to drown in the madness that claws at my soul and mind To sink into the deep depths of darkness within Make friends with the demons that call my name Take up residency in this very hell of mine No more fighting, I fucking surrender! Battered and worn, I leave my sword behind My demons gather knowing they've won and greet me with a sinister grin Surrounded by madness and chaos that couldn't be taimed I sit in my darkness and whisper to myself "I'll be fine" Covered in battle scars, skin still tender I lay there exhausted and try to unwind
