My Journey Into Darkness Poem by Mr. Poetic

I once felt sorrow
I once felt grief and pain
But now all I feel
Is my mind slowly becoming insane

I've isolated myself
To just a few
The future is red with madness
My past was sad and blue

My children sense that daddy is strange
But my wife does not have a clue
But soon my sweet angel
I will have to confide in you

We will have to find
A new place for me to live
I have a heart full of love for you
But I have no intellect to give

I've been sober for many days now
I no longer need to get high
But what is the sense of sobriety
When all your dreams are going to die

Why am I slowly going mad
Why am I going insane
Was it the drugs I polluted myself with
Or is it the poison in my viens

Will my little boy
Grow up to be insane
Will he lie in bed soaking wet
Because his tears fall like pouring rain

Will my little girl
Who is the apple of my eye
Live a life of unending happiness
Or will she stand alone and cry

Will I know my children
Will I know their names
Will I recognize them in the future
When I am completely insane

Will my dream of publication
Ever come true
And if it does will I realize it
When I am surrounded by a haze of blue

People die of illness everyday
There are all kinds of disease
I would rather die of a deadly cancer
Then lose my mind to insanity

All the symptoms are there
Its just a matter of time
Before all hope is lost
And I completly lose my mind

Insanity is inevitable
My mind is a setting sun
My journey into darkness
Has finally begun
