Part one in a series of 3 large poems and many short ones.

Madness in a bottle
A gate of an altered state
I open it up for my escape
I take a drink and soon feel it link
A part of me begins to sink
Into a place i cant explain
I feel myself begin to drain
Within me the terror reign...
..but its a ...pleasent type of pain

Its something different
Its something new
Something happend when i consumed the brew
Inside me a madman grew
Screaming aloud"yes this is true!i am a part of you
Awoken by the elixer i have broken through!"

Instantly a part of me died
And changed me like jekyll inter mr. hyde

Like a beast out of hibernation
With a hunger for devistation

My thoughts get sicker
As the madness grows thicker
Within my veins flows the river of liquor

I hear the madmans profanity
While drunken with insanity

Itried to gather myself
within my own mind
to try to understand the madness that struck me blind
searching in the darkness only to find
myself turned into a hateful demon of some kind

like some kind of genie
from the bottle is released
free from the glass prison
feel the flow of the beast

on throught the night
with the madman i creep
the insanity in my hand
in the bottle i keep
if i am to rest
into a deep sleep
he too will slumber
sending him back within deep

one thing that troubles me
troubles me in the worst
when the bottle is empty
the madness i still thirst
i think of those who feel
trapped and cursed
and so they cant function
without their liquid escape first

theyre reminded of its gift
that they will not waste
when they tip the bottle and the
escape they taste
feeling free from all
the troubles they faced
they consume  their gift
and the feelings are replaced

when the bottle is opened
i hear the madmans laughter
when the bottles is emptied...
... i become him... soon after.
