"This Suffering Is Killing My Soul"
You cannot understand the vitality
Of the insanity that I envelope
The discomfort has such a finality
That it seeks to destroy my very essence
Everything I hold...
Is shattered with the force of frustration
It is a silent menace...
The poison of an undetectable presence
That converts me into an image of wickedness
Shame is all that my vision views
Shame over stupid insipid actions
I become the image of Adam
The Father of Idiocy
The image, I am, of my father
Not biological one...
Nor the glorious one...
But of the stupid one..
Adam the Idiot
His curse is found in my DNA
But it has mutated into an imbalance
That even the common man does not understand
The man of futile activity and total lack of reason
My Wish would be that life would be a dream..
Because the stabbing of my soul,
With a knife of illogical psychological pain,
Becomes a bigger burden every passing day.
I am nothing of what I wish I were
I am ashamed over being alive
I am frustration being spread by an infestation
Of a mutilating Chemical Imbalance.

Wow, that was... Amazing. I feel like that sometimes. You were very eloquent about it, unlike me. I wrote a poem called "Chemicals" about the same kind of thing awhile back. *hugs* Feel better, please? Because suffering for art is only good when you can feel better afterwards.
