Welcome to Hysteria

Someone is screaming inside of my mind
They're a little crazy and hard to find
Can I live with that and my soul combined?
With my head and my heart intertwined?

Is it love or friendship, that we need?
Is it nothing other than happiness?
Is it getting everything we want,
Or getting our heads guaranteed?

Teach me how to not be dispassionate,
How to stop my vision from spinning,
To be only compassionate,
And to stop my heart from sinning.

Violence here is not the answer
It will never be the only way out
Using it is only an enhancer.
It is to lose, without a doubt.

However, they never realize
Just how foolish it all is
Because mankind needs to fight
And it is our biggest delight.

Religion is senseless and merely inane
It involves my most frustrating thoughts
No one can know until they ascertain
And that won't be until we have gone.

So stop dictating your ideas into my face,
Cease fighting and warring and being the foe,
Quit hiding your head from the face of disgrace,
And defeat the idea that you will bestow
Those funny ideas into this place.

This was awesome! The first stanza alone could be a poem all by itself, and still hold some of the meaning associated with the title. Great write :]

Good job, Scarlett. I would rate it 100, but I can't adjust the slider on an iPod.
