Many Me Myself and I
the little control
we claim total dominion
Whom is speaking now?
for even the voices
within, in my head
denies mine command
when one ask for solace
some delivers terror
when one hope for an answer
the others utters nonsense
what is I?
when many self resides
inside what makes I
many Me, Myself, I
In this crowded recluse
am "I" still justified?
am "I" still sane?
when every I that
lives inside are wise
Or is it what makes I
is when every I
compromise to drive
safely to satisfy
others life, their eyes
"you are not being yourself"
How do they know?
No, They don't
They just want you to be
whom they want you to be
so fuck their shallow cries
& fuck their callow life
PS : I don't believe in mental illness, what others deemed to be mental issue are their justification of social discrimination

I think you mess it up with the "social discrimination" part
for my point of view has no sense, and, I don't believe in illness, that doesn't mean that people does not get sick, coz they get indeed, but in the end, is not coz of discrimination (I think), for me it sounds more like the way they want society to be.
And, yes society (of wannabe's) for a long time has turned into me, myself & I,... but there is other side too, coz now we are sharing ;)
nice piece,
