Silent Madness

Deception
 
Looks can be devious  
I look strong, balanced, calm  
supposedly impervious  
Silence and Madness laugh  
hysterical at your naivete
 
Truth
 
Silence sighs, cries  
never lies, never dies  
Madness supposedly sets you free  
That never happened for me  
 
Reality
 
Completely unwelcome  
I cannot send the shadows away  
To banish Silence and Madness  
I must exile myself  
 
  Submission
 
It took a while to accept  
the frequent visitations  
Silent mania suffocating  
voiceless misery shrieking  
 
Inevitable
 
Silence dances with Madness  
I’m not them, shadowed fiends  
Yet the muted delusion is me
Author's Note
Composed of verses from poems I've previously written to emphasize some personal truths. Five stand-alone poems that can also be read as one.
All writing remains the property of the author. Don't use it for any purpose without their permission.
