Madness for poetry!!!
I wrote this in the spur of the moment, there is personal truth, even in the ravings of a mad man.
A Madmans truth
Whispers seep in
From every lost shadow
Words full of venom
Tell tales of woe
Pain in my head
Cant keep voices out
Filling my heart
With their fear and their doubt
Sleep is forgotten
Awake now forever
But i found a way
Im getting more clever
When I follow their words
A moments reprieve
But how many souls
Must i make take their leave
I'm not a bad man
Please do not judge
I don't like all this murder
Their requests i begrudge
For there is no other way
I will never know peace
But in those few seconds
I feel sweet release
It wasn't me
Just the voices in my head,
Does that change the fact
She's dead?
Nice poem, Dark👍🏽

Read your poems, they are very dark and sinnister, and I say that as a compliment! There is some relation to lovecraft, although he wrote in a more "dreamy" style, and avoided to describe the horrors directly: most of the time, there were just hints, making the reader's imagination fill the gaps with whatever terrors the reader's own fears invoked.
Anyway, the combination of good dark poetry and those nightmarish pictures is a good one; followed!
