New age blindly falling from grace, fighting a hidden enemy Teen and anxious once the norm now a psych diagnosis, distress taken as some bad label Faceless facts hard to retract, flashing light world in blight, Harum-scarum analysis isn't reality Inner truth now given to a mental sleuth, hidden truth never seen, cause and effect does it mentally disable or inadvertently enable Swallowing knowledge left us choking, repetition offers no variation, life has no on or off switch, harder to remain stable when emotions are constantly displayed openly on the table so irrationally Paranoid covered in a blanket of fear, selected target our mind now a part of the market, pointing at humans being inhumane part of the game, being playful becoming a lost fable Why always recall when you're about to fall, simple shuffle of memory cards can show greener yards, following pre-plotted maps leads to another casualty Not as bad as it appears, forget learning to simply survive, permanent pessimist, Impossible to relax when buried in facts, wasteful worry replacing meaningful ways to remain grateful Instant diagnoses blown into multi tethered prognosis, finding middle ground when being told you're not normal or crazy leaves many lacking, losing leverage when searching for adequacy Mass medias senseless sayings gather no moss to keep the blues ball rolling, taking fun from function, new dog and pony show, subconsciously afraid, living life now seen as something fateful Digging our own graves, personal pall bearers for basic thought, selling freedom for an unfulfilled diagnosis, words a magic elixir, removing ways to face fear rationally Social wisdom masking the freedom of a child to walk through a puddle instead of a lifetime of insight finding knowledge to walk around them, remembering to smile gives strength to go the extra mile, life on life's terms need not be painful.

First thoughts were follow up on something I did before on basic thoughts being changed by negative feedback,or "feeling" something mentally wrong when it is just LIFE! goes deeper and wider than simple prose allows and is now several generations deep,do we try and reverse this? or become scared of our shadows? :) thanks for reading your thoughts are helpful,PEACE TAKES PRACTICE.
