behavioral health

 
delusions set the perimeter  
I believe my life an illusion of something else  
chained in this dimension  
a prison decorated all so nicely  
a diversion for the mind  
I am one thought away from grandeur  
 
I think I am too vast for this space  
so I manifest in more than one body  
I feel the mental institution was designed to capture one like me  
you fall into the trap of thinking you're crazy  
it alters your ability to see and act accordingly  
 
perception is key  
to understand or know a thing your mind first must believe  
I know what I feel  
I'm in constant pain  
while some parade about the place flaunting their elevated state  
 
I wonder what they really look like under the façade?  
 
I write, I sometimes wonder if it's a mistake  
making my thoughts all too visible  
under a microscope my most vulnerable feelings  
while callous observers pick them apart  
I believe this place alters according to your ideas  
so careful now. don't reveal what you know  
 
the three dimensional world is a construct  
a place to inhibit thought  
the universes are vast that's what I inhabit  
the universe is on a thimble of a child's belief  
don't tell me I don't exist  
 
funny thing the mental health system is called behavioral health  
it's not too hard to see,  
the mind control
