Being drowned on Chucky?s demons
whilst on a suicidal high
going down dressed up like a -
laughing clown

caught a glimpse of the shadows out of the corner of my eye
as i was turning in the night
so I thought I?d read
Eyes wide open in the night
never thought my heart would bleed

kept up and in with the fright
wondering all the while whether they took the lead
and my head?s feeling to light
so I decided to get out
and so that?s how the hunt begins...

I searched high and lo for my shadows and demons
but they ignored me and went along their way
leaving me confused as to whether that was defeat or victory
so it came to pass
some summer day when I suddenly saw it for the first time again
as I looked over a bridge I was burning
looked like just what i had suspected it to be
through the clearest bluest waters the eyes of the coldest beast

went back home with a newfound peace
knowing the face of fear so intimately
so as to be on first name terms
I decided that it was after all - defeat
but then again the most relished release

nope, I have no clue what's it about either

Its almost like someone who tried to commit suicide, loooked down from the bridge, and truly knew fear, and because of that didn't want to die anymore.

I don't know, but it could be read like that!
 
frogbat, everytime i read one of yours i feel like Im stepping into this dark piece of the sky.

SO charged and heavy. You definitely have a very distinctive style.

Great poem, matey.
