Author's Note: ready for a poem?

Falling faster

I can't stop it

He made me want it

Now I've bought it

The sickness spreads

I feel its fingers

In the shadows

There it lingers

Always watching

Every day

Now I'm next

In line of prey

No one cares

About the freaks

And in their darkness

Madness peaks

I reach to touch him

To set him free

The world is breaking

For him and me

Now run along

Scream and hide

The joke's on you

Gotham's died
