A Troubled Mind



Neurosis,Psychosis
Science labels my pain
Unable to comprehend
My dark domain

Deeply disturbing
Emotionally fraught
A mind in chaos
No lucid thought

Thoughts of oblivion
Thrive in one's brain
Seductive, alluring
This suicide game

No more battles with sanity
A daily event
Of normal pretences, to all i have met
At this fatal moment i have no regret
Take me now; I want to forget
