As in crystal methamphetamine, the mind becomes cold.
Anxiety, paranoia, and schizophrenia
Creep in, like snakes and deathstalker scorpions, uncontrolled
Are bones, veins, flesh, and blood affected by asthenia?
The body begs for calm composure; the moody mind mulls.
Midst fires of optimism, the ice of pessimism melts.
Restlessness and rebelliousness resemble spineless skulls
Vandalism of vindictiveness vitiates vague vents
The feeling of freedom to fly and fervently flutter
Fill and flow flawlessly, like fine floral fluorescence.
Mild melodies of memories musically mutter
Constant conscious conscience has come to be the quintessence.
When the ice of hateful, heinous, hideous hurdles heaps
May passions of compassion flare from the depths of the deeps!

Pernicious thoughts, perennially play and plague
to dampen, downcast and depress my spirit,
how it takes birth to burst forth and blemish is vague
to my thoughts, a sentry now I am on this culprit;
an enterprise effort it takes to stay vigilant
on how it takes root and goes on to geminate,
while it vitiates my visage and turns me petulant
I fail to grasp and also gripe if this is all innate;
with these assailing thoughts I traverse and cope,
yet like an astral my grit glitters to fight it, in all hope.

Lionise longing love,
Sprawling supercilious stuff,
Crystalline compatible craving,
Romantic rapturous revealing,
Inevitable intrepid iridescent,
Memorable mystic magnificent,
Vibrant vivacious vitiates,
Salubrious succour speculates !
