"Within Us All"

Merissa

Even when we feel our best

Madness is within us all

It lies beneath the surface

And waits to catch our downfall

 

They never see it coming

When the time has come to strike

So they fall into the trap

And land upon hidden spikes.

 

When this happens we don't fear

Thinking that we’re safe from it

But then we get caught as well

And began to lose our witt.

 

The circle keeps on going

And traps everyone in sight

You may not see it in you

But it’s grasp is hard to fight

 

Everyone has it different

For some have less of control

But no matter who you are

Madness plays a type of role

      Madness is just a better word for crazy. Everyone has a little crazy in them. It comes out at different times. Sometimes unexpectedly but it's always there.
