Schizophrenia

Everything I know is made up,
Imaginary life, imaginary love, imaginary friends,
Everything I have is fake luck,
Imaginary job, believing I made a difference in the end.

But no, I'm no better than the liar who said pills could fix this.
Make a wish, make a friend, make believe.
But I'm still no happier than I was before this hit.
Make amends, make it up, make him leave.

Don't let me drown in the life I really live, let me pretend!
I used to be worth something, even if just to me!
Don't let me drown in the lifelessness I live, let me live again!
I used to be happy, used to have friends, used to have something in which to believe!

But now I have nothing,
Now I have so much to lose,
Now I have 'friends',
Now I have YOU.

Wrote this in the spur of the moment. I was actually hoping for something in which I could emphasize the words 'make believe', but this came out instead... well, I think it's just as good, but I'll probably come out with another one that emphasizes that more later.

Great write!! I love the structure and who you emphasize his feelings. I can feel the angst. I especially like the last stanza. It's the one that sticks out the most, in my opinion.
