A Poem

Going Crazy

Crying tears of lonliness
My heart calls out in pain
In my empty, dark cold room
Listening to the hollow rain
A hole of doubt and anger
Consume my every thought
So much I want to do
So much my mind has sought
My aching soul bleeds
Singing a sad, sad song
So much I haven't done
So many things gone wrong
But in this same old tune
A whispery echo sighs
For every day you wait
Another melody dies
Holding my head with angry fingers
My silent screams ignored
All those thoughts I think
All the hurt feelings I hoard
The tunnels of my mind
Sterile and hospital white
Until a door is opened
The mess spills out in spite
The whispers of the norm
The murmurs of the real
Now all unseen and unheard
When finally things stand still
