Whispers of Insanity by Tyra Sequeira

Beastly demons of past sins
Poisoning you with destructive thoughts
Reek havoc on your mind,
Dancing on the edge of the insanity,
It beckons you, calling your name
Swallows you in the silence,
Hold on to that single thread.
Until a simple slip, a loss of grip,
Descending into eternal darkness
Nightmare madness takes control
Vile wickedness, devil sought
Terrifying sinister laughter
Seizes a tormented soul
They pushed you over the edge,
You lost balance.
Revealing sincere insincerity
and a soul of malice
This goes beyond theory
Stop screaming at the silence
before insanity has you chained
Have you ever had the giggles?
Insanity wants to play,
Dripping slowly into your life,
You won’t notice it until it consumes you,
Smothering you with the voices,
Your senses will be suffocated, there’s nothing you can do
The whispers of insanity will reveal what is left of the truth.
In that tiny cushioned room,
Where no one can set you free,
That’s when you will think of me.

      wow, after reading it over and over, this poem is absolutely amazing. Not even in a psychopathic way. The imagery, the contemplation, the immense feelings of despair and insanity is overwhelming. It’s quite awsome.
