Post Traumatic Word Syndrome

they say "its a fine line between genius and madness"
and that insanity breeds ingeniousness

see you cant control madness,cant confine insanity
its inside the mind and only self possess the key

it can't truly be cured with a pill or held by a lock
in that same sense, creativity is neither in nor outside the box

scientist say creative people have the same gene as those linked with psychosis
now thats not saying in order to attain brilliance one must suffer from neurosis

just that there are fundamental genetic links and similarities in diagnosis
and i can't help but wonder which will be my prognosis

cause i have a ILLness,daily stresses plaguing me
divorce is a mofo,shoot im still trying to break free

to let go of past thinking,and foolish ideaology
but ghosts of the past still haught me

flashbacks of childhood memories
add to that the day to day,and this damn economy

i provide for my kids but yet i still worry
my biggest fear is them growing up in a hurry

as traumatic as nightmares,its no wonder i cant sleep
so overwhelmed at times,all i can do is weep

but i do so silently
quiet and solitude soothes me

and i wonder if lifes a tragedy or a cruel comedy
perhaps my pen can tell me,help with this unsolved mystery

seems words are the only thing that grants me serenity
my thoughts are the only thing that can save me from me

ironic i guess,or maybe just plain ole crazy
