Volatility

Volatility

Callous skin

Crass and numb

Dead nerves poker face

Need to laugh has gone

As quickly as it came

Maybe again it will come

And every one backs off

‘Cause they can’t keep up

 

Mood switch face twitch

MOOD SWITCH! SINEWS TWITCH!

The darkness which we all possess

And dragons, demons freaks like me

Cannot suppress

Rises in our eyes and ears

So down we are hurled

And there we are left

To rot and burn

in our self-made hells

and every one runs away

‘cause they can’t keep up.

 

This smile, it is fake and engraved

This smile, it will fade to its grave

Happiness dies without a bane

Numbness numbly takes its place

I fall to my knees

And make a hollow sound

And no one wants me near

cause they can’t keep up.

Mood swings are scary, even to the person that has them, you're screaming in this one Deron. I can feel the frustration leaping off the page at me! Sometimes being stuck in our own little world can be a good thing but not for long, then people turn their heads and all that's left is the noise in your head.

Ders you should give me poetry lessons. I need to learn to use in depth description. Nice poem by the way. Kinda like a shrinks diagnosis, in poetry form.
