Daily Dose

Writing to remind myself.

I'm schizophrenic...
Living in my own world.
Not sure;
Reality and imagination begin to blur.
Stir em' up with a wand-
And sip till the ugly duckling becomes a swan.
Fond of the visuals-
But don't judge books by their cover:
The girl you're in love with could be a life sucker.
Days go by, and tears aren't cried-
But I hate the way I feel so crushed on the inside.
Battlin' depression with no other intervention.
Using my own strength, but now I begin to question-
Why's the struggle so hard?
And I've come to the conclusion that I'm not playing with the right cards.
Charred and burnt,
Smells like smokin'.
Ain't got no more money for these games:
I'm out of tokens.
Gotta get my head straight;
Tighten the bolts on this Frankenstein.
And like a zombie, I gotta get a fresh mind.
I'm sick of this decline.
Here's another dose to remind myself that I'm in need of sunshine.
So I write my woes away-
Then leave 'em to be forgotten as I try to live through another day.

Reviews

[Rose Tyler]

First of all, you've got great talent. Never give up on writing.
Second, this could easily become a rap song if you wished it to bel it has the kind of flow.
Thirdly, This was really nicely written.

I have a friend who says he's schitzophrenic and sometimes her really does act like it. But I'm a little crazy too. Who doesn't like the occasional odd person?

this is an amazing poem.
i could totally see this becoming a rap, trip hop, or hardcore song.
if you have some vocal skill you should defiantly get this recorded.
youve got some great talent here. keep on writing.

The narrator is tortured by mental illness. Despite this, he does recognize the cathartic role writing plays.
