Psychosis
Each day becomes more insane
So you try to drive in every lane
You don’t know your thoughts are not true
Yet they leave you feeling so blue
You’re told the worst things all day
So to fight them you pretend to play
You don’t understand why no one sees
The crazy things in the trees
It’s so obvious and makes so much sense
The air becomes thick and dense
Your body feels things touch and poke
It’s drives you mad so you go off to smoke
You’re convinced the world is playing a trick
So much so you feel sick
Why are they messing with my head?
I hear them talking when I’m in bed
The things they plot and plan to do
It’s so detailed that you know it’s true
They play dumb and call you crazy
The worlds becoming really hazy
Try a little white pill
You’re sure it’s there just to kill
You beg and plead and try to explain
You secretly plot to take the next train
The meds work, it’s all so clear
You immediately start to tear
What happened to you wasn’t real
There’s no words to describe how you feel
The destruction you made to your life
You fantasize things you can do with a knife
It’s all your fault and you didn’t know
Embarrassment and quite the blow
The things you did and what you said
You want to hide all day in bed
Recovery is a long hard road
It feels like you will just explode
