Pitch black outside

 

 No clue where I’m going

 

What’s beyond the trees,

 

I have no way of knowing

 

Fear of the dark strikes me like a wicked knife

 

No clue what I’m doing out here

 

A wandering insomniac

 

This has become my life

 

No clue what time it might be

 

Midnight was long ago

 

I’m out of my mind and freaking out

 

That’s why I have to go

 

Distant sounds come from nowhere

 

I simply cannot see them

 

No matter how hard I stare

 

At this time of night the whole town sleeps

 

Because that’s societie's norm

 

With no light even simple shapes,

 

Take on supernatural form

 

In this darkness I am horrified

 

But that’s why I’m right at home

 

A misfit from the world around me

 

A black mark in the chrome

 

The only other human things,

 

Are the voices in my head

 

The fear is what makes me feel alive

 

At my house I feel so dead

 

I feel like there is more to life,

 

Than all that I can see

 

Apart from what, apparently is

 

Something else might be

 

It’s true that I see nothing,

 

Does that mean it isn’t there?

 

Questions like these are what make me “crazy”

 

Because most people just don’t care

 

Get a grip Hyde

 

Go back to bed

 

Go back to sanity

 

Suppress the voices in your head

 

Come back to the light

 

Pretend you’re all right

 

But remember the things

 

You thought of tonight

O on the contrary! I am insane, and I'm proud if it! This poem did convey a message, but I don't think it's a very accurate one. Thank you for all your comments. :) Your starting to make me a lil cocky lol
