Schizophrenic Philosophers
Catatonic inscriptions etches through my textile discernment
Insidious cycles of turmoil encased within a festering distress
Uncertainty obscures my comfort into a chaotic complacency
Transforming the subtle movement of thought and bewilderment
Through the re-occurring sequences of paranoia and my uneasy psychosis
Haunting the whole of this psyche and the mental state I've come to fancy
A tell-tale apprehension of merriment and contentment may be a dismal reality
All the while being obsessed with the unfavorable outcomes I conjure within
But, I can't get enough of the disarray that breeds within my frail skull
So distant from what I feel in the ecstasy of my self-selected normality
The meek proposal of sanity has little to hold against these crooked grins
As this chaotic thought process leaves rationality as a vague ideal to null
Expansive introspection has no limit to what is perceived as validity
And, to be enveloped in the ambiguity and delusion of fact is so enticing
We all know that we've all come to recognize the fabrication of our own truth
The futile attempts to obtain an immaculate conviction in pure solidity
Is so wondrously perfunctory and constant as the life that i'm living
That I dread the day of departure from this hysteric observance of aging youth
Insidious cycles of turmoil encased within a festering distress
Uncertainty obscures my comfort into a chaotic complacency
Transforming the subtle movement of thought and bewilderment
Through the re-occurring sequences of paranoia and my uneasy psychosis
Haunting the whole of this psyche and the mental state I've come to fancy
A tell-tale apprehension of merriment and contentment may be a dismal reality
All the while being obsessed with the unfavorable outcomes I conjure within
But, I can't get enough of the disarray that breeds within my frail skull
So distant from what I feel in the ecstasy of my self-selected normality
The meek proposal of sanity has little to hold against these crooked grins
As this chaotic thought process leaves rationality as a vague ideal to null
Expansive introspection has no limit to what is perceived as validity
And, to be enveloped in the ambiguity and delusion of fact is so enticing
We all know that we've all come to recognize the fabrication of our own truth

good stuff, wordsmith-boy! where is the "yelling for more smiley" when one is needed?

Thanks man, greatly appreciated. Though, I don't quite understand the second part of your comment to be honest. Please elaborate :d
well, I wanted to say that I wished I had an emoticon expressing the wish for more of such stuff :)

haha, oh alright. Thanks for clearing that up. And, thank you for the kind compliment. Take a look at some of my older poems if you get the chance.

Thanks again scribbler. I was stuck on the last line of the piece for quite some time. It was laying dormant in my notebook for a good month or so. I knew exactly what I wanted to say, but had no idea how to put it.
I have read your poem once again and I think it's really a brillant piece of words! I can hardly believe how precisely your lush metaphors are constructed (pumping somehow strange and weird but coherent and comprehensive images right into my mind) and although your lines are loaded with rare expressions they seem to flow so weightlessly at the same time!! and considering your seemingly young age makes your verses even more astonishing :)

Thanks for giving it another read Man. I'm overly esteemed that you enjoyed it as you did. Good to know that you are giving it a thorough look over. At first glance i'm sure that this would seem like a bunch of non-sense because of the extended phrasing in each line. Though, after giving it an depth read (as you did) I think most readers would come to see the underlying theme and how each line is progressing towards it. And, I am indeed still at a fairly young age. Nine-teen and counting. Cheers. I'll be sure to read some of your work as well.
