Sacrificial Sanity (Free verse) by Twisted Wizard
Each and every day it withers away, Like a diseased old oak tree. I cower from this inevitable fact, It is the safest thing I can do. Hour after hour and day after day, I sacrifice a little more of my sanity. Giving more of my patience, Eats away at my soul it does. I take one look at this disgusting society, Only to find that it rots me away nevertheless. Creeping inside me,through my abused nerves, A time bomb waiting to explode at the next repulsive act. And now you ask, am I insane? Take a look around you, now you know. This neuralgia seeps its way into my brain, Causing me to snap and make others pay. Pay in threefold for stealing my sanity.... my stability. For driving me to the brink of insanity. Everywhere I turn I see another, Someone else to cheat me. All this pain and sacrifice only to end up nowhere, I now spend my days locked in chains, fading away, At least I am at ease. At ease from those who punished me indiscriminately, Showed no care, no remorse for my tortured soul. Inside I slowly die,waiting for the next life, Only to unfortunately get stuck in this hellhole. I will never again feel sane, For I have sacrificed it all and will do so in endless agony.
