Psycho Babble

The soft soothing light 
Slowly starts to fade
And the grip on my sanity 
Begins to degrade

My spirit sinks slowly
Back into the black sea
As I realize normalcy and happiness
Was not meant to be

Devoured once again 
By my ravenous psychosis 
As Insanity takes hold 
Death of my spirit is my final prognosis

The demons start appear
As paranoia starts to set in
And the eerie unsettling voices
Start to begin

As I now wander lost
Within my sickened mind
Escape from schizophrenia
I know I shall never find

I went through a gut wrenching ten minute sign up on this website just to tell you how AWESOME Psycho Babble is! Mental illness touches my family, and this was a great, educational read! Thank you for sharing!
