non compos mentis

non compos mentis

that's right my mind is not right

growing madder by the week

it's the psychotic pulse that I seek

sometimes I want to cut in deep

hysterical chanting in my ear

even when you speak sincere

a deranged schizophrenic fit

I see not one in the mirror

but two, seven, and four

my reflections show me horror

demented voices and words

hell yes !

I'm insane in the membrane

not saying I like it

but I'm done trying to fight it

depression and bitterness is sweet

no longer do I see it as personal defeat

demonic whispers inspire my art

 insanity and I

will never depart!

Inspiration comes to us as a gift when we open our minds and accept it with open arms. A wonderful work of art.

These were my favorite lines "demonic whispers inspire my art/
insanity and I /will never depart!" Definitely an odd topic. Very inspired. I liked it.

Muse, wow this is a switch. This is really... really... I just cannot find the right words. All I can think is TWISTED. Great Job
