Episode
My deepest secrets, in the open
Why do they watch, me?, broken
It's really starting to freak me right out
The challenge ahead, the insatiable doubt
This is simply not like me,
There're cameras recording me up in the tree
No choice now but to put on a show
Let the dancing and the impressions flow
The Mrs questioning my every move
"What is it you are looking to prove?"
I thought she loved me, she put on an act
Oh well, I need to keep myself in tact
Up in my face
Called a disgrace
Do you want me to break?
I will lay down and flake
Knees to the floor
Can't take anymore
Here they are, the boys in blue
I'm staying put, not talking to you
They gather around, force me to floor
I lift with my legs, let out a roar
Pepper to the eyes
Beneath five guys
Let's get some air
Just hang in there
This story is true
What my mind told me, was all that I knew
About this poem
An insight in to the mind and experience of a psychotic episode. A true story translated in to rhyming poetry. With a tense audio track and video imagery to reflect the sadness and impact on my partner due to the state of my mind at the time.
