*****5150

No this isn't my social security number

Nor my inmate vernacular

Just clinical insanity

Rearing its ugly head

Will the cycle end?

Or is it allowed to begin?

Different outcome expected every time

Voices poison the clarity in my mind

My resume would state:

"Works well with others regardless of the pain"

Deranged architecture furnish self imposed purgatory

Collapsing mental faculties flail in vain

Told to toughen up or suffer

Burdened by overwhelming paranoia

Astral travel to realms unknown

Leave my body aching for more

Silken embrace of madness engulfs

Broken synapses firing without aim

Stark raving sanity threatens normality

Knowing there is more to be seen

Glimpse the peripheral visionary tale

As the author pens the final scene without qualms.
