Tormented screams fill the halls
I hear a slight thud as somebody falls
Insanity has taken over my mind
The sleeves on my white jacket are one of a kind
I rock back and forth in my padded room
I'm slightly nuts you might all assume
I talk to myself because no one else is around
I'm losing myself and I'll never be found
The nurse comes in the room to give me my pills
I just spit them out at her face, oh what a thrill
Then I begin to laugh in her face
And now I'm beginning to enjoy this place
Happy pills
And frequent chills
The doctors run in with the syringe
Then in pain I fearfully cringe
I seem to fall into a deep sleep
Then I wake up and start to weep
A waterfall of tears run down my face
Why am I stuck in this dreadful place
Just because my mind is a little bit twisted
Doesn't mean that you should shove me in this place like I never existed
I'm smiling now
But my only question is how
How will I sort out my murderous plan
I finally thought it all out this is how it began
Some day I'll silently sit on the floor
Waiting for a doctor, or a nurse to open the door
Smiling slightly a knife in my hand
I'll stab them, I'll kill them, this is how its planned
I wait and I wait an hour or so
Til finally the nurse walks in grumbling a hello
She walks towards me and hands me my pills
Life's full of thrills
Until you die
I swallow my pills and give a slight sigh
I vaguely remember the knife in my hand
I spin it around. Oh this is grand
I give a great grin to my unwanted room guest
Then I shoved my knife deep in her chest
Watching her wriggle, in fear, and in pain
Now you can tell that I'm truly insane
The doctors now could hear her screams
More fearful than your wildest dreams
One doctor ran in and pulled out his syringe
I took it from him and he painfully cringed
As I shoved the needle deep inside
A devilish laugh also applied
I pulled out my knife from deep in her chest
And I shoved it in him oh this is the best
They brought it on themselves, they tore me apart
They just didn't think that I was this smart
Its about time they're dead and I'm alive
I never thought that I would survive
I'm now happily insane
And I gladly took the blame
Sitting in a new padded room
One with bars and padlocks, one full of gloom
I needed to try and think of another way out
I sit there just thinking and give a frustrated shout
After about an hour or so
The lights in my room suddenly glow
Someone walks by and gives me some dinner
I just stare at it and don't eat it I'm getting much thinner
I just thought of a way staring at that silly tray full of food
I'm suddenly happier, in a way better mood
I'll take that spoon on the tray
I'll work all through the night and all through the day
I'll sit by the door and sharpen it on the concrete
And I'll hide it in the socks that lie on my feet
Then after I'm done
You'll realize I've won
When someone comes in to clean me up
I'll shove my sharp object far into their gut
I killed those that hated and put me in this place
I then killed myself I'm floating into space
But I died happily insane
As that sharp object slid up my vein
You can't keep an insane person locked away
They'll just hunt you down, and kill you like prey
And now my blood is stained on that padded room floor
Stuck there forever, for someone else to adore

omg... omg... omg... that was creepy. This time, it didn't even matter how long it was, I was on the edge of my seat this whole time. This was definitely a thriller. It was absolutely fantastic. One of my absolute favorites.
Thanks for sharing.
