symptoms of the insane

wrote it about my ADHD/depression issues - and wanting to much not to rely on medication

 

panic panic

paranoia,

and suddenly,

I can’t see.

can someone lead me?

 

But there is no one here,

you see…

no one but mirrors, light and me.

 

so tie my hair a little tighter.

hide the pain

a little deeper,

no one has to see it.

they won’t know it’s there.

blink.

blink with me

and try to change

the color of

the daylight

 

blink.

and under the surface

you waft the stink.

 

panic.

panic paranoia

and suddenly it comes out

as clear as day.

 

I am not okay.

 

but I guess you knew that anyway I guess

I knew that.

I guess, at least for today

I won’t have to hide the pain.

 

for once, I admit

to the

 

panic panic

paranoia,

and insanity.

[Spilled Her Guts in Cur..]

i liked this. sharp in its rhythm as it is sharp in its meaning and i liked the repetionion of the words 'blink' and 'panic'. I feel like it would be a great poem to perform.
