Who's In ControlA Poem by Joey Martinez
As I lay here
I sense something near The demons in my head Are escaping through my ears The monsters came clear And plotted to cause havoc and fear They climbed on my shoulder and said "Hey Joey, you thought we were dead?" "We would regroup while you went to bed" "And search for the darkest thoughts that lie in your head" "We don't come in peace, we came to destroy" "The sanity you had was nothing more than a decoy" "We're in control, we love playing with our toy" "You can't stop us, we've been here since you were a little boy" I begin to become frantic and lose control The sweat begins to drip my eyes start to roll I'm beginning to lose it all once again If they win this time, it might be the end These voices in my head need to be silenced Before it takes over and causes me to pursue violence The demons see me worry and laugh at my despair One whispered "Your mind is our oxygen and we need air" "We need a place to live and your brain is our lair" "So give in, come on be fair" "The more you struggle, the bigger the scare" I'm fighting it with all I got I was in a good state of mind, assuming they were left to rot But it was all apart of there plot To let me experience something I'm not And that's being sane Being normal, seeing sunny days instead of rain Having a good day without pain But that quickly went away like a stain I can't let them win this war I know what needs to be done I pull the trigger And fall alongside the gun © 2014 Joey Martinez |
