Fond admission
of my own mistakes
but its not enough
to make you forget them

You hold a grudge
for gods sake
you just cant live with them

I know you want to stay
but you need and explanation
well ill tell you why i cant pay attention
but you'll think i'm insane

My mistakes
the ones ******* up my days
come from the beasts
living inside my brain

my routines changed
i gotta make up some names
for my friends
who you nor i can explain
because their bodies
are in the same state as my mental brain

My mistakes
come from the elephant in the room

my friend ed

hes rather huge

400 pounds and hes getting bigger

12 feet tall and he's getting thicker

hes shouting loudly
his voice is booming

hes constantly distracting
hes always moving

going wherever i choose to go
making fun of whatever i know
and if i dont show some interest
he'll grow
get angry and throw
and makes a mess
make a show
destroy serenity
in this place you know

he gets upset if i don't give him some eyes
if i don't show him that i know he's alive
my awareness is spent
on his selfish cares
he always tries to give me a rise

so im sorry but i don't have time
i need to confine this beast of mine.



im sorry but your mind
i think its too late
you believe you see a man
who ruins your days
and steals your eyes
your gaze
is his prize
theirs no one here
but you and i
i love you
but your insanity
is no surprise
This poem is basically supposed to be a dialogue between a schizophrenic and his partner. The last bit there was meant to be from the view of a loved one or some **** like that.
