Anti-Psychotic

So overwhelmed in my Mind's bleak realm;
A mental dungeon where I am bludgeoned...
I lose control; release the helm-
(I have no strength; can barely function)

Beguiled by trials, my thoughts defiled-
Trying tortures, they compound- compile!
I lament this long torment,
And ponder if the pain's worthwhile

Boy, Chan, you packed a lot into these eight brief lines. You have written something here that manifests a high order of skill. The poem's impact is so enhanced by your pen. Regard the source of pain. It is often unworthy of the precious life energy given to it.

When you come through the other side it is well worth the fight. Nicely written too, good flow and sticks to a style.
