Got To Go
Folder:
Raging Fires I’ve got to go, I’ve got to go, I’ve got to get away
I’ve got to find a way, to stop this poison in my brain
I’ve got to know, I’ve got to know, I’ve got to break away
I’ve got to kill the madness, before it is allowed escape
Can’t you see, can’t you see, that I’m doing fine
Even as I am enveloped, by the chaos deep inside my mind
Lost in hell, lost in hell, yet what I seek I’ll never find
A bastion of serenity, from an existence entombed in time
Seconds ticking, seconds ticking, turning surely into hours
As the particles of darkness, in my heart will soon devour
Just a death, just a death, who would ever mourn a coward
Just a moment in a life, when the soul yields to the powers
Controlling it, controlling it, as it drops me to my knees
Taunting voices in my head, they aren’t allowing me to breath
Go away, go away, just one request that I must beseech
This pain I carry daily, is a bane that you will never see
Passing by, passing by, attempting the façade again
Cleansing blood on my hands, that has bled somewhere within
Another day, another day, another depth to all my sins
Another debt upon my soul, another tangled web I spin
Eyes open, eyes open, yet there’s no restraint that I can feel
Tormenting walking nightmares, as they fade into surreal
I’ve got to go, I’ve got to go, I’ve got to get away from here
I’ve got to run away, lest I become swallowed by my fear
I would have liked a comment from you about the true nature of your poem but none the less it is a powerful read about a quite tortured soul who obviously can not take anymore. I read in to it that it must be a schzophrenic mind that has reached overload and fears the worst of his psyche will explode at any moment.Very well put over but perhaps just a slight let down at the end i would have liked a true ending ie suicide/psychiatric help but still enjoyed the subject matter and the overall flow of the piece. Cheers for the read.
