vintage 2005 - psych poem

................

Think about this as an old fashioned question…

Inspired in fear and loathing in so many people.

Can you see my literary pretentions?

I can’t feel any of this anymore

And my eyes are burning at the sight of this blank slate.

What do you want to believe?

Does this hurt all of what you believe?

Can you feel how this is all directed at you?

I can’t argue because I haven’t heard you talk

This issue is active

(like lava down the side)

But my arguments against you

Have no logical conclusions.

This will never make anyone happy.

This is someone that has been thinking for years

And burning for minutes

Cutting into eternity

And rewiring all of the influence you have on me.

Where are these conditions

Where we can make some new connections?

We know so much

And understand so little.

So will you stay tonight?

And if my mental states

Have kept the chemical treatments in me

(instead of you)

Know that I never meant it to be like this.

You know what comes next, and so do I.

No amount of training will solve this riddle

That causes all of the chemicals in you

To come in pill form on my heart and never to leave.

I have to make you mad before I know how aggressive you’ll be.

And how much this can hurt.

Because it never hurt the same ways before
