I’m sane among the mentally deprived
All my life I have strived to gain fame
A status uplifted name, a star by all rights
For that purpose I hid my pain
The agony unknown to all, which I carry alone
Before I engage in my tale, welcome to my home
But as I speak pay attention and watch closely
I will mention why my posture and this dimension are unholy
…
They skitter on the surfaces on which I walk
They glare manically at me when I talk
Small creatures spawned straight from hell
They attacked me on stage, from fame I fell
Critics deemed it a panic attack of unknown proportions
As they crawled up my back I had to make contortions
I figured out how they reached my spine
“PANTS” a solid climbing wall to reach my mind
As my brain is what they are after or so I assume
If only you could understand my gloom
See what I see, hear what I hear
Feel what I feel, fear what I fear
But eyes closed to the pain of others
Only shudders at the possibility of critters
If you would look closely to see and not to mock
You would see them gather, which looks like a white spot
A close friend told me “to destroy them absorb them”
Not knowing, I took the path of lesser men
Adding addiction to my torment
As I was sniffing their souls as if this skill was heaven sent
And truth be told their faces didn’t unfold before me
Stayed dormant in places which I now consider unholy
My stardom kept me rolling on the road of success
But now it’s unfolding, it seems I owed more, than simple stress
A single platoon gathered to rush me as soon as I missed a sniff
As my vanity shattered and my flexible mind became stiff
I was forced to go home which I left alone to collect dust
A single chair a bed and a TV as those are a must
But as soon as I entered through the door
I was frightened to my core
There they stood proud and vengeful
Pushing me up this chair, fear pounding in my skull
Which I could only express in screams
Which didn’t go unrewarded so it seems
I thank you for forcing your way in
I’m unable to move, even on god’s whim
So would you do me a favor please
Crush all these devils under me
