Madness

Ashley Rene Clark 1986 (Mercy Hospital Port Jervis, NY)



Swirling thoughts
Screams of passion
Tears of joy
Madness surrounds me
Overtaking me
No
I must fight
Fight to hold my ground
My sanity
But where do I belong
No clique to call home
Lonely
The dark night subsides
A new blazing sphere of fire arises
Another day has begun
Another day whence I could've taken action
Will I stand up before it's too late
Or will I fall
Fall into their laughter
Fall into the madness
