PSYCHOSIS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are drawn together
Flooded by distant memories
Hesitation crashes down waves
Tides of rising endless confusion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You watch yourself walk away
A permanent blackout
You watch yourself wash away
Who let this stranger out?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The light hallucinates the spectrum
The internal rain, clouds the consequence
Electrified light shines on into your existence
The rising sun evaporates your disdain
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You watch yourself crawl away
Slither slowly toward the light

This is a very interesting poem, in light of what just happened at Virginia Tech. The shooter after hearing his rant and rave, was seriously mentally ill. Douglas Alan
