Feel things before they happen Translate these feelings into words Reflect on what these words mean It can be your warning You can diagnose your dis-eases You can foreshadow upcoming misfortune Remember how far you've gotten Remember where you come from Move slowly and with grace Think before you act Act as if you were to live forever Feel as if you were to die next hour Take note of your surroundings There is no shame in gathering your thoughts Learn from past mistakes through gentle eyes

Intuition
It's good for the economy to live in constant fear Fear makes one consume and live in doom and gloom I find myself restless Feeling all alone while every chair I sit on could well be my throne Someone somehow is robbing me of something The whatever I need to live off nothing They wave a sweet carrot I run like a horse without understanding I left my own course Then I fall on my face and having lost the race the jockey hits me The crowd jeers me I know how to run I know how to perform but I don't know how to rise after a fall I expect no mercy pity or remorse I expect fatal blows to strike me with force Like a useless animal to be put down To be discarded when it's no longer useful

Put Down
Nicotine calms my nerves and keeps me in place numbs me enough so I can keep going nowhere A band-aid for what troubles my heart The cancer it brings feels so far off It kills me softly so I don't die suddenly One who's in chains smokes wholeheartedly Without nicotine I'd fly in a rage and end in an even dirtier cage My parents and relatives were like stone Hard and unmoving to the bone None of them ever had my back I was their rock, they ensured that I cracked They saw me as servant or even a slave My time and energy they took and I gave From then on I was enslaved through and through I knew naught but what I was told to do So I'm a slave to whatever I see People use me, and I give freely Though I sense them stealing my energy and giving nothing back, but still I don't flee I let them come and intrude on me My most precious things I let them see I'm so used to it in fact by now that I throw my hands in the air and bow. I gave up on freedom at a young age My past is riddled with dreams and pages that I crumpled into ***** and threw away The chapters they stole are intangible impossible to track so I can't accuse them of their heinous acts Yet perhaps someday I will be free from the eyes of those that torment me

Exhausted
My heart is not a muscle I can control It beats on its own, to a rhythm and flow And I don't think about breathing or blinking, I don't even think about thinking It all comes naturally on its own. My actions I could never master nor do the memories I have, and the dreams have anything to do with my choosing. I was just standing there, and a wind goddess blew them into my head. There are spirits that control time and song Human beings can do no right, no wrong We are oblivious to destiny written in a book that God wrote, but won't let anyone look yet the angels of protection stand firm.

Only Human
Doctors and psychiatrists still wonder why schizophrenia appears in the late teens or early twenties for most patients. This is the time when freedom is first felt, when the chains are loosed a bit, but not broken yet. You're no longer tied to your parents' whims and control, the schools release you into the world. This is a fragile moment for a young person's soul. So what do you do? In a frantic frenzy you try to clean yourself up, you tie up loose ends, a proverbial shower, only to realize you have no real power. Not over the aspects of everyday life, but the temptations of sin that strike you each hour. You learn about God, which the world doesn't teach and you realize your true calling is just out of reach. You work your little job, which you don't want to do, to buy stupid crap that needs tending to. It's work till you're dead, for scraps of bread A bond of slavery, an adult-sized leash, and once again freedom is out of reach. Meanwhile your spirit is aching, you're rejecting your calling, and though your heart's breaking, you can't be caught stalling. Rejecting this notion, you search for solutions Death seems the only viable option. Social suicide, lack of proper hygiene, binges of anything close to unclean A downfall of sorts, but it's not the end for then the law and health system steps in to reclaim. They put you in hospital, strip you naked give you a gown, and call you crazy while keeping a file on you, play God with you, inject you with pharmaceuticals, thus thwarting your destiny. Their solution is slavery on a shelf; a spirit eclipse, a kind of soul ban. And they wonder why schizophrenics have a 20-year shorter life span. But they never examine themselves, and are oblivious to their own coming hell. For what they don't realize is that schizophrenics are healers Societal corner stones and prophets and seers. They're the cure for the world's sins, the true remedy they don't want to win. The ones to blame, the ones inflamed with the holy ghost, but they choose not to listen.

Quiet my tongue Tell me something I haven't heard, perchance; something to make me go silent, to a sleep-like trance. Strike me with truth Dispel my illusions The pain is elixir It's not an intrusion Please shut me up that I may finally rest in the fiery embrace of correction's bitter cup.

Wisdom's Drunkenness
Sometimes the most insignificant smallest of people who cary little weight and a humble demeanour strike the fiercest blow when they turn away and never come back for you lost them forever

The devil always returns
Open eyes, dawn of life gently close upon each dusk One drifts off, wanders worlds reachable through inner light This is where I go to play, gone's the pain of yesterday So I know and am quite glad that I'm more than flesh and blood. I have no fear in this strange land Wounds are gone and I am whole I just ride the tides of light They take me where I need to go. Then I know what I must say to the other ghostly souls who exist within the night before we all forget the show. And I know that I am loved though in this world it is not so for pain and fear rule the earth It is not a pretty sight. If I could live in the spirit world forever and ever, it would be quite fun Yet even heaven has its end; now back to work under the sun.

Forgotten Dreams
Well-connected people of the world They know well the other cogs of the machine; oiled up robots, utterly worthless Memories of them rot like cadaverine Pay them for a service, then they're gone back to the darkness from whence they came You cannot trust them with important matters for they are servants to money, not to God I am not perfect, but I'd rather starve than like in this hell-scape they call earth Remembering the haunting memories of the wicked Recalling those who are friends to the world How they run to and fro, from one end to another Enriching themselves through deceit and robbery What kind of example are they setting to those who want to live in peace and harmony I will not know rest until they burn I will not sleep peacefully till they're in hell For they robbed me of the precious life Took me by the hand, and led me to damnation

Disgusted
I was raised under scrutiny where being yourself is a sin Forced into chains that I'm now desperate to break They said I'm the problem that I'm thinking too deep I should be content with my days then falling asleep Some people have husbands Some people have wives I'm forever alone clutching a knife I'm in tethers of fear Each day is the same Perhaps a bit worse as my body decays The whip strikes my back The drugs make me numb I'm someone lost at sea with no direction This generational curse I swore I would break but the problem was always inside my head Can't even wake up and make my own bed I have no control I wish I was dead
