Psychopath

This is inspired from a character in a book. This character is more pitiable than hateful, because beneath all the horrible things he does, you can see he's trying to fight the demons in his mind, and that they're slowly driving him crazy. I think of this as being the mind of a cross-section between a paranoid schizophrenic and a psychopath. Of course, if anyone has ever found it hard to resist some sort of temptation, you might relate to it a little bit, in a dark sort of way, especially if the temptation was especially sinful!

Psychopath

He’d let them in

And now they’d taken over

And they thought for him

And whispered to him

And told him how it was

And how much he was worth,

Which was never very much

But he belonged to them

No one else understood

No one else knew

Hated, feared, despised

Only the demons understood

He wished they wouldn’t till his lips froze

But now he belonged to them

And they would put all their insecurities into him

And watch as they ripped apart his life

And watch him despair and lose

And bring him down to their level

And watch as the fight died in his eyes

And he became their toy

And he became their slave.

They were here to take him down

Once he’s gone, he’s lost forever.
