Sitting in my room alone, voluntary isolation. Listening to Bach’s sonnet, trying to discover the right annotation For this tragedy that I’m living, Boy prodigy is lost in the absence of his life’s meaning Eyes unfocused, Forging his dead identity. Locked inside his own mind’s cage The walls are dark in here, they were painted with his own fear Feeling intimidated by the presence of this devil, who’s older than half my age We both grew up together. He is the Master, I’m his Slave Every once in a while, I like to ask him how my insecurities taste He has been feeding on them for aeons, since I’ve been seeding my ideas with crayons What’s that, are you feeling sad? Let us hop onto Instagram. Let us binge through stories and vicariously drink the joy other people like to brag Have you received a DM yet? In the last five mins? Let’s go back and check. After all, isn’t your self-worth a puppet to the notifications you get? Trying to use my smartphone as a prosthetic to support my handicapped happiness, because I cannot for the life of me find it inside my mortal existence Sorry Complex, but can we take a recess? Could I borrow your mental health issues? I would like to use them as tools to build my own little Universe for the World’s muse “Dude, you are so smart” Thanks, I appreciate that. But what’s my intelligence gonna be worth, when I suffocate out of my breath? Choked by this sociopath named Loneliness, he likes to **** people in a slow death He has a gang of thugs, Anxiety is his cousin, Depression, their Godfather Insecurities, the Uncle who has been molesting me since my childhood They sneaked up on me in the alley, while I was hopelessly looking for love and acceptance. They kidnapped me from my family, and took away my ability to make friends Now I can’t find a single person who understands me, Or even genuinely cares No one from my past who wants to make amends Should I OD? Shoot myself in the head or jump off the edge? Don’t worry, innocent bystander, these are only metaphors. I’m not actually trying to **** myself Sorry to disturb your browsing session, please continue writing your Instagram caption, I was only crying for help Or attention, whatever fits your worldview. You can call me the crying wolf Don’t you get it Complex, the world doesn’t have the capacity to bare your illness Can you be stable for a ******* minute, you narcissistic ***** Do you have problems or not? Can you stop fluctuating for your friends sake? Sure, let me just tune my mind to a different frequency. Wait, that’s strange, the radio seems broken. Are you having the same problem as me? It’s been a couple of years, since I discovered that my birth was an error in human reproduction I looked under the microscope, my DNA strands are coded in A, D, H and D I cannot afford to pay the shrinks fee, so I’m trying to find my own solution I’m glad that you looked it up on the Internet, But I’m sorry, you don’t really get what’s it’s like carrying this weight 24 / Seven When you want to fly, as if you are superman, around the planet, 7 times in a Second The mass collapsing under its own weight,   you forgot to equate for e = m c squared Why are you carrying all this dead weight? Complex, let go of your history I’m trying to! Don’t you see? Those beasts just keep chasing after me
