i dont even care if this sucks, it's ME, not some bullshit intended to impress people. i typed it up really
quickly because i LIVE IT, i'm NOT pretending. and also, i'm in a really good mood tonight/morning
so i'm finding it VERY easy to type this without caring about judgement from others. if you like it, very
cool, let me know, if you don't like it, write your own poems ;)
-----------------------
“paranoia”
My head is fighting itself
Hard to not take the shot gun shells off the shelf
And everybody drops the word ‘crazy’ like it’s cool
Just remember ignorance is the tool of the fool
If you’ve ever truly lost your mind, felt like you’re trapped inside, doing time
Then you know – paranoia is no joy ride
Your parents, your friends, the people closest to you
Are suddenly all out to get you
Can’t watch the TV, can’t listen to the radio
They’re all giving hidden messages that only you will know
The meds are there to make you look like a fool
Legalized drugs, designed to help, but you know their secretly killing you
Can’t walk down the street alone, can’t turn off the lights in the middle of the night
Hidden cameras in your shower, lots of microphones, and even in your own head, you’re never right
Can’t give up though, got to continue on down the path you didn’t even choose
While the media misleads people, and music makes “crazy” the new version of cool
Yeah, I am sick
Doesn’t mean I like it
I’m out of place no matter where I am
I can’t help myself, but nobody can
I’m not the only one, millions more weep in the night
Fighting the never ending pointless fight
My mind is my enemy, just like my closest friends
Praying I have the balls for suicide, because that’s the only way this war ends
Drugs and booze sooth and are the only tool of the confused
Wanting to let loose, want to act, but if I do that, I lose
And they can tell you “insane in the membrane”
but it’s not f’ing cool, your best tool in this dog eat dog world is your brain
worship your mind, don’t take it for granted, don’t destroy it
‘for it is no fun living the life of a REAL lunatic
I don’t fit in with anyone, me and my people are too sick to stand united
The slightest misunderstanding, the slightest confusion leads going on for hours frightened
And it’s not easy to know I can snap at the slightest thing
AM afraid I’ll pick up a glock a pipe, a bat, whatever and going on a binge
Seen things not meant for sane peoples eyes
Look out from within this desquise
I’m not like you, and you’re not like me
That’s what makes this song and dance so misleading
I have to try to understand you, but you never understand me
Then you wonder why I’m complaining and self hating in my world filled with misery
Love gets replaced with fear, friends become enemies
No one to trust, can’t even trust my own mind with this disease
This morning, they were talking about me on the radio again
Turned it off and went into a panic attack, AGAIN
In a world where only the strong survive
I’m a predator humbled to that of a victim
In a world where the strong thrive
I’m a dead man breathing inside of my minds prison
