Mental Manhandling with a Side of Bite

Easier to snap stitches sown by a witch, Individual infliction, comforts to materialize, Mentally-made pain, Not one to take a knife to my vein, Mentally tortured till I'm convinced to claw at those arteries Peer pressure, I am more than just a friend look for gain, Naturally nourished before incubation Neurologically nestled till you learn of our need, To share an existence, that I will also perceive,   If only we could say, If only I could see, Our minds can cripple the bold, Those egos bring us deeper than the worms, The roots of a cemetery’s dying trees no one can reach, Keeping us quickly exiting this existence, The discovery of complete darkness or another chance to perceive, The mystery that keeps you listening to me, From lobes that function and breathe My torment fostered from a self-destructive process, Thoughts fomented in the cranial corridors of a mind in need, Independent and only recently unaware, The mind doesn’t fear the electric chair, Each day will bring trouble, But some will bring you peace and a sense of a soul once more, In the wake of mind that mandates, manipulates, Be the powerhouse that reaches for your own controls,
