Schizophrenic

"The brain can have a mind of its own."

Darkness even with open eyes

Voices in his head

Disturbing him

Hands shaking

Laughter getting louder

Gripping the blade

Blood drips to the floor

As he looks to the body before him

On the floor

Of the empty grocery store that he broke into

To make this setting of gore

"Just go to sleep"

"Laugh it off"

The voices cackled

The called to him

As he left the store

His fear of being caught diminished

As he begins to laugh as he leaves the store

Licking blood off his hand

"Oh beautiful world, i crave more"

Run he shouted

At the people in the street

Fear consumed all

That laid eyes upon him

For blood dripped down with every step

For he had not realized

That with his mental state

He stabbed his chest

And sealed his fate
