Internal Chatter-By:Akeen V.

Night falls inward spiraling towards fright.

Morbid thoughts slowly flow during night.

Blood leaks quickly from the wall;

Leaving positive thinking to steadily fall.

Death circulates creating a trapping vortex,

Throwing all life sideways, completely out of context.

The enemy does not lay upon fears doorsteps.

But rather inside, where chemical imbalances

Within membranes in the brain, continuously fight challenges,

Between sanity's quite sensation and insanity's loud agitation.

At times sane thoughts are kidnapped; locking them away in darkness.

Replacing them with bouts of insanity, such a repetitive occurance.

Until one day arises, beyond that moon lite horizon.

Fighting shall cease from sickness of trying.

Sanity's marvelous and also protecting light

Will  meet defeat, expelling righteousness throughout the night.

Peering in, darkness can easily be perceived,

Covering everything which is known to be right.

An altered life and mind becomes received.

Now insanity's light, shines perfectly bright.

Yet neither insanity nor sanity are given victory

For both did not conquer what was sought after so rapidly.

Forgotten by both, another waited very patiently.

Watching them bicker while laughing hysterically.

Waiting for the time to present itself,

For a true victor can commend himself.

Insanity's holds an obvious fault

Once its peak has been breached

Another entity takes over while it takes a halt.

Therefore when it is breached

Insanity's door slams at its feet.

Victory shows what everyone should see

That madness has won

And shall forever control me.

I find this quite raw, an excellent write - well penned and I like how you convey emotions

A truly descriptive poem about the internal struggles of the psyche. Insanity finds away of conquering us at the most vulnerable of times. And sometimes we welcome it with open arms to replace the pain, sorry, misery, embarrassment--whatever it may be. You poem tells that tale with such a surreal vividness. Very nice work.
