Crying Insane.

by Lindsaroo

The card is pity.
The plea is insanity.

Calling for ignorance
And unwilling hatred.
Twitch a little.
Scream a name.
Suddenly
I’m not to blame.

They made me do it.
They made him bleed.
I’m not a killer.
So please take heed.

Murder’s a sickness.
A raging disease.
I couldn’t help it.
It wasn’t me.

I lost myself
In a river of blood.
Over and over.
It became a flood.

I didn’t know better.
It’s all just a blur.
Can’t remember my name.
Or what I did to her.

Feed me sugar and pills
And watch me improve.
Then unleash me
Back into normality.

I’ll be good.
Smile and twirl.
Fixed and oiled.
I’m going to hurl.

Her neck just bled.
Dark magic.
That’s not my head!
So tragic.

It’s out of my control.
Don’t force me in that hole.
I thought I was doing well.
Don’t take me back to hell!

Seizures make them into believers.
Self inflicted cuts.
Misused cigarette butts.
A couple wounds
Is what it takes
To make them think
You’re God’s mistake.

Poor soul.
Can’t help it.
No control.
That’s right.
Keep me safe.
Feed me love.
Spare the hate.
Insanity is easy to fake.

This was... wow. It expresses everything that anyone needs to know to fake insanity xD

I loved the stanza:
"I lost myself
In a river of blood.
Over and over.
It became a flood."
--That was just a work of art.

I hope you make more like this, I look forward to them.

Very well written, im afraid i dont have anything bad to say xD

I liked the way the poem is kind of mysterious. And it shows how the "person" cant stop killing. Yeah it was nice!

And you ended it VERY well. Lovely! :)
