This urge overtaking me
I tear at the fibers of my mind;
The voices there threaten me ...
Tell me to ...
DO things ...
My disturbed thoughts
Cry bloody murder in my ears
My blood and sweat
Drip ... slowly ...
I am becomming dizzy now,
I cannot see the world any more.
I cannot hear anything
Except the voices,
And my blood and sweat
Drip more quickly.
I can no longer FEEL anything
The loss of my mind
In the voices that live there
Is more complete now
Than ever before,
And my blood and sweat
Flow from me...
...
...
There is nothing now ...
Nothing but the blackness ...
Nothing but the voices ...
My blood and sweat
Have run out.
I have no arms,
No legs,
No body,
No MIND!
NOTHING!!
I do not exist any more.
I have left this world,
One more time ...
And as I come back to Earth,
One of the voices is gone.
My blood and sweat
Sprinit behind the page for you to read.
The world fades back into focus
And I rejoin humanity
Hoping the last voice
Has left me forever ...
As the blackness fades ...
The voices return ...
Somehow louder,
Stronger for the loss
Of one of their own ...
The voices return,
With a vengeance.
They tell me to ...
DO things,
And once again
My blood ...
And sweat ...
Drip ...
Slowly ...
