Array ( [sid] => 22636 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Screams of a Maniac [time] => 2003-09-02 10:45:00 [hometext] => * This poem is a result of a vision I had. I wrote it a few weeks ago. The vision was terrifying and in order to get to sleep I had to write something. Here it is.* [bodytext] => I'm screaming the scream of a maniac
Trapped in this blanket of nothingness
Wanting to tear my eyes out
Because the grip is so intense
It starts to close in on me
Whether in my minds eye or reality
I know not, but the vision is terrifying
I crawl within myself and collapse

I try, I cry, I die,
I beg, I fight, I flail uselessly
It has me in its iron grip
Tear me open, defecate, self mutilate
This nothingness shrouds me in its terror
Sweep up, pan out focus on my cuts
Watch as my screams fall at my feet, empty
I'm screaming the scream of a maniac [comments] => 3 [counter] => 241 [topic] => 13 [informant] => bobotheclown [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Tear me open, defecate, self mutilate

Amazing how something that is not even real can terrify us so much. Very intense Joel! Great job!
