Songs of a Madman

Songs of a Madman

A Poem by Stephanie M
"

This is a poem about mental illness.

"

Knives above the mantle

 

Swords hanging from my bed

 

One step and the light flickers

 

Green feline eyes shimmer

 

As I slither through the dark

 

The madman laughs through his pain

 

The holy man lashes himself and gives praise
