inverted visions: a world inside out
howling whispers and murmuring shouts
living seem dead; and the corpses alive
wonder if I’ll have to die to survive
manic laughter
feeds the dread
Ever after
eats my head
giant raptors
in my dreams
strangle all hope
poison themes
absurd collisions: truth smashes my love
peaceful bullets pierce every white dove
moral fission; all my nuclei split
jigsaw memories, the pieces won’t fit
obsessive search
feeds my pain
progressive hurt
eats my brain
it’s getting worse
all is lost
my sanity:
discarded dross
dysphonic screeches: my own voice betrays
the smiling b******s carry me away
new medication: my sickness is damned
what if my sickness is all that I am?
oppressive care
heals my pain
now nothing’s there
all is shame
this blessed curse
I am well
my whole life bursts
I’m in Hell
I am well
