Favorite Quote:
"The worst crime is faking it." -Kurt Cobain


We believe they’re living in a detachment from reality,

if a truth doesn’t fit into their vision it’s subject to rejection.

There’s some delusion rooted in their fixated mentality,

which requires their mind to lead their thoughts on a path of misdirection.

 

They can’t cope with true and existing actuality,

so they cloak themselves in a mask of false perception.

Excuse us for the professional formality,

we believe they’re in a state of high-functioning disconnection.

 

They claim to live in words they’ve never said,

and hurt from wounds that have never bled

Their sickness can only spread,

for they have their own head mislead.

 

Give them The Pills twice a day.

We’ve said all that’s left to say.

This poem was written about medication for mental disorder, and how it can be used as a bandaid to distract from the real issues.
