The perfect sin
Its fruit bears false prophecy; it is a white stallion commanding war and mayhem. Its seeds sow the earth into Chaos, and its plants dub the trees worth the dough.
The heroine
I read books...a lot. I have schizoaffective disorder and narcoleptic shock waves. My mind is on a mission, a mission of peace and prosperity.
The obstacle
I tend to be attracted to beautiful women of pale skin or brown eyes. My sexuality is quivering. It masturbates in thoughts. I can't quite speak to it because she is Satan. I know only to keep her pure and virgin.

I have schizoaffective disorder
and everywhere I go I'm frightened.
Even a leisurely walk
all my senses are so heightened!
The other day I passed
a wrapper of Oreo cookies...
I felt this was planted
with the theme of Black and White!
Are my thoughts just my imagination
or is the Illuminati out to get me?
I think the grass and trees are poisoned
by gangstalkers that I cannot see.
So I take this injectable medicine
that is supposed to calm my nerves,
but I still think they are in the shopping center
giving me what I don't deserve!
MKUltra and MKOften
are the formal names of my demise
are they real and keenly active
or are my visions a false surprise?
You’ve heard of schizophrenia and psychosis sure,
And you’ve heard of bipolar and how there is no cure.
But, why does nobody talk about the thing that is both?
The thing that also takes a mindset of growth.
Saint Dymphna, please help with mine and other people's mental disorders and challenges.
