Fallacious Reality

By Melancholic VIncent

Thoughts dwell in my busy mind
Like radio transmissions lost in space
Gibberish voices disconnected from logic
Static noise that blurs my reasoning
Focused as a beam of intense light
So bright it burns my eyes
In a pile of tongues of fireĀ 
So blight it melts my sanity
In a pyre of mad laughter

Hypotheses, conjectures, suppositions
Mixed in a black cauldron
Inbound by magical power
A stew of boiling vapour ascending
Exhaling from my body
Manifestation of madness
Brain waves converted into spiritual energy
Rendering me insane for all to see

Ideas possess me
I can see they are not mine
Maybe from another department
Of my shattered mind
I am bound to their will
The only version of reality i can afford
A faulty perception of real facts and solid matter

    It has been said that there is a fine line between genius and insanity...I do believe, my friend, that you fall on the side of genius.

    Well I can't confirm that, at least i'm a little eccentric. Thanks for your support :)

    We all create our own realities to function inside of, perhaps as a coping mechanism, and this piece was exquisite, thanks.

    Yes, but some people have their mind shattered and they can't connect all the pieces together, so all they get is a "Gibberish voices disconnected from logic". Thanks for the compliment

    These lines captured me "Ideas possess me I can see they are not mine Maybe from another department Of my shattered mind I am bound by their will" Love this, I feel this way often, first time I saw it expressed so accurately. Your a very strong poet.

    Thanks so much. I'm glad you felt connected with it. When i did this, i wanted so bad to write something, but I was in lack of inspiration, I didn't think about a theme, I just kept writing.
