Rats In The Belfry

The gnaw of negative thinking.

I got rats in the belfry

gnawing away

rats in the belfry

day after day

Nothing shall go right

I know this to be true

a future black as night

dead skies of blue

Days past I long for

within a crypt of decay

all loved to be no more

bleeding hope to grey

I got rats in the belfry

gnawing away

rats in the belfry

day after day

I long to claw from the deep

halt the black shadows prey

let the chorus of doves seep

ceasing the gnaw of rats play

Rats or bats in the belfrey can make us wonder sometimes whats going on in our mind. You always give a good image of what you write about!

Thank you :)

Yes, I love the descriptions. Like rats scurrying about thoughts can get stuck in our heads and make us feel like we're going mad. Great job on this. Creative and well constructed with outstanding imagery.

I'll take care of those unwanted rats racing havoc inside your mind, yes I will.
A very outstanding poem. Excellent imagery in this write. We all experience
this psychological torture from time to time if not often!!

A very well written opoem echoing with distress and pain.
Very unique and different. I like the idea of it being rats
and not bats eating away at the person's mind until
there is no peace. Good imagery and I like the
idea of this poem.
