Sideshow

My morbid and twisted mind ...

Sneaks up on me sometimes

My dark mind so sick and bent

Waiting on Hell, where I'll surly be sent

My blood spills on the floor, red starts to flow

Destined to become the one man sideshow

The light slowly fading from my eyes

As all societies people slowly pass by

Can they see me ... Does anybody truly care

About the anguish in my mind, and all the despair

Here I go, its all total darkness now

Death creeps in as I take my final bow

Here it comes I cannot wait

Finally, to be out of this place

I hate it here and want to go

Say Goodbye ... to the one man sideshow

Very dark, yet excellent poem.

[Baby Ricochet]

Pretty intense bro..........

[Rita L. Sev]

There is such a depth of emotion here, Timmy - I feel (and hope) that this was cathartic for you to write. The flow and rhythm are excellent; this is a gripping read.

We all struggle with darkness from time to time, some more so than others...writing is an excellent way to purge those demons, and you've done a grand job excising them here.

Did you mean, 'I'll 'surely' be sent? Great read!

[Eddie Phillips]

Pace, flow, and meaning were perfect. It speeds up towards the end and that is good because t helps with the anticipation of death and release. Great Job!

A frightening glance into the mind of a suicide. Very dark. The poetry is flawless. A very well written piece dealing with a very difficult subject.
I find myself desperately hoping that this is a work of fiction...and not an actual suicide note?
This dark and forboding piece is a work of genius...

we need to have a brandy sit down
you and i
you seem too worried about the world around you
you need to relax
ignore the throws of the world
from time to time
HAI!!!

[Jon Roggie]

Let him write.

[Ranger Nadaly]

I think the writing is great. You have a talent.
The idea of the "one man sideshow" is clever.

A lot of struggle in the poem. Each of us must overcome our struggles and hope we find a reason and purpose to keep going. I like the questions in poem. I believe every life is valuable. Each with a purpose and reason. Just need to find it. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
