I live my life in a dark room.
No one else is around.
There are no doors to be opened.
No windows to be found.
I run my hand along the padded walls,
Looking for some escape.
There is no way out.
Now my life's at stake.
I hear the faceless voices,
Talking above my head.
I fight to grasp what their saying,
But I can not tell what's said.
I'm losing all perspective.
I've lost all control.
Everything that I had,
Is everything they stole.

Good job, Blaec.
"Insanity" is truly a relative term.
You have definitely captured the jist if it.

ahhh insanity...my favorite subject,you've done excellent work here....i like the last lines,as a semi-insane (i'm not really insane i'm just eccentric to the point of rudeness) person myself i relate to these sentences,and may i take the opportunity to quote trent reznor "Head like a hole,black as your soul,i'd rather die that give you control"....insightful poem!!

Great poem.  I liked the general tone of it.  However, I think that the rhyming at the end of each sentence made the poem sound a bit awkward for this type of poetry.  But that could be just my own style talking.

Nevertheless, good poem here, Blaec.
