Bastard son of a big time underdog I am,
tormentor of subconscious self
Man of unearthly fear, a truly voiceless lamb,
crying for mothers milk to blindly engulf
Nothing in life seems ever to go my way,
that's why I am so bloody sad
Imposter in the war zone, a sickly gay,
hiding from the savage world gone mad
Momma always said I was just a tad crazy,
like an infant on some weird acid trip
A molester of cats, killing lovely daisies,
killing anything pretty by crack of the whip
From skinning cats I went to immature girls,
plucking their beautiful eyes out for fun
Such games I exhibited to the wide world,
and paid dearly by force of a stungun
So they locked me up in the stupid nuthouse,
a place they said would fix my hurting head
Insane it all was, experiments to cruelly rouse,
to drive out the demons they all justly said
Yet I felt nothing at all wrong with me,
only a desire to be left alone
Still the quacks and nurses could not see,
nor believe I was sane and well known
Like I had fans, devotees of my deeds,
ready to die for me, just like Sally did
A girl of sixteen who I so left to bleed,
my tormentor of home, dead for a quid
So am I a scoundrel?, am I right in the mind?,
or a child blind maybe in my woeful world
Crying for homes safety, crying for playtime,
that's all I'm asking for in this life so hurled
Forced into a corner, made to commit,
devote myself to a dead man
Well no way do I feel the need to submit,
so become as they, destroyers of my plans
My projects, my life's work in discectomy,
pulling life apart, killing frogs and whores
Masturbator, ejaculator driven to misogamy,
that's who I've become, a man left bored
So I thrill, kill my life injecting ice by the grams
at least I did until authority nabbed me
Compulsions unnerving, a true cause to condemn,
now death in a straitjacket be societies key

love the unsually descriptive words.. each fitting in context well. it got a little lengthy, but the visuals and feelings painted forced me to continue through. great job.. keep penning!

Definately fits in the dark genre. Good descriptive imagery. It will definately get you into the asylum.. ack! The content makes me cringe, which I believe it's supposed to do, so that would make it a success.
