Ecstasy of Madness

An ecstasy of madness~~
a nightmare without and end--
It's fun at the beginning..
It's fun to pretend..
On top of the roof--
there sits some pigeons
mocking me, telling me to do
myself in..There's pills in the bottle,
that help navigate my mind..
Unfortunately my friends, I swallowed
them all, not really caring what the
outcome would be..
In a room, with bare walls, and cigarette
butts resting comfortably on top of stale
Bud Light cans--I looked out the window
and prayed to both God and Satan..
Just to see who would come to my aid
and lend me a helping hand..
This is what happened~~and strike me
down dead if I'm lying..
Shadows of darkness did increasingly grow..
A dark mist did cover the ground..
Out from this fog, a black cat made himself known..
He spoke to me, not in words, but telepathically--
He said, "I'm here to help you Ricky.."
"I will always be with you--We Love You.."
~~we shall visit again, throughout your Life--"
On the back of a one dollar bill, I did write..
33* Mason, and later that day, I got change for a
twenty and one of the singles did say..
"We Love You Ricky"..
Always following me--
--reminding me, with a bit of certainty, I have seen
not just "the light"..But, also with it, another reality..
I don't know why, some people fail to see..
The two paths that stand before thee..
One right, and one left..
I suppose, the middle of the road, is purgatory..
Heaven on the right, and Hell to the left..
Some spirits call to me and others wait patiently
for the last breath left in me..and so, summon me home..
~~the end
