The Chaos of his Mind

A poem to summarize the plot of my screenplay.

He drops to his knees

Lost in the chaos of his mind

Unable to ever forget

The tragedy he can't rewind

 

He was just another soul

Trying to simply get through the day

Go to class and do the work

And get tomorrow out of the way

 

But expectations and plans are fragile

And almost always meet with despair

And when evil pushes him too far

Hate and rage replace the air

 

He was in the tranquility of his home

As he pulled out a loaded gun

He counted the bullets in the magazine

Ensuring evil will never again see the sun

 

He goes back to that place

And evil is banished to the silence of memory

Or maybe it just takes another form

As wrath coarses through each and every artery

 

But evil never stays free

And he is forevermore locked in a cage

He is now a self-aware animal

Doomed to die here of old age

 

He drops to his knees

Lost in the chaos of his mind

Unable to ever forget

The tragedy he can't rewind
