Sickness of the Mind

Sickness of the mind
Encapsulates your soul
Your sanity engulfed
By abject desperation
Crimson colored rage
Usurps you erethral throne
Control is lost
Your essence skewered
Life does this to you
It rends your soul asunder
Crashing in your mind
Reverberating thunder
One path alone to walk upon
No other road to take
The only way it ceases
Is when you are interred
In a box of pine
'Neath a cubic ton of dirt
