Submerged in Madness
written by: Iulia Gherghei
@iuliatzurcan
You have to contain your own madness
To sublimate its black fury
To hung it tight on a random beam
And from all that darkness
All that bitterness
All that swirling tar
What will emerge
Some will say light
But light can have so many forms
Deep in the pit of despair
Sipping from the cocktail of our dreams
The Prince of all madness
Smilingly turns off the lamp of hope
And what then
Then we become shadows sliding feverishly on walls
Bouncing like crazy at any sign of sanity
Iulia Gherghei
