    Sympathetic Schizophrenic

    Who am I?

    Nothing more than I was last week,

    But not the same as the year before.

    Imperfect Perfectionist,

    Everything in it's place.

    Except for me,

    I do not belong.

    Sympathetic Schizophrenic,

    It's not just in your head,

    They really do look at you,

    You are the cause of all their pain.

    This is the End,

    The Doors said it best,

    Break on through,

    They can't hold you back,

    The people are strange,

    but you are much stranger,

    As fact is to fiction,

    No more remorse,

    Please put down the knife,

    I won't cut my throat,

    Oh, but yes you will.

    I'm not suicidal,

    I just hate myself.

    Put down the knife.

    It's not funny anymore.

    If I die so do you,

    Is that what you want?

    You live to destroy me,

    From inside my head,

    I have been taken hostage,

    Hijack my brain.

    My thoughts are not mine,

    I am a prisoner, inside of my mind.

    wow i really like this one! i like how you question societal views of what sanity is, and what we should become or how to behave according to it. least thats what i got from it. well said, i believe you were rated too low on this one.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
