Ramblings Of The Psychotic Mind

By Zhee

where does it come from?
this defiled reality...
shards of fragmented self
that cut through
your deafness,
your mute existence;
rendered powerless -
paralyzed by glacial fear,
the furor of demons released -
into the blazing cauldron
of melting veracities
where you purge and putrefy,
absolve and decay,
exist and perish;
clinging to all that remains -
the voices in your head,
the bullet in your brain,
and the memories of razor blades
that your blood managed to stain.

  • A former member wrote: Mick Jagger (of the Rolling Stones) once told people, "It's okay to let yourself go as long as you can let yourself back." You've done it here.

  • A former member wrote: Zhee, With this poem I'm reminded of an Amboy Dukes song (w/Ted Nugent) called 'Journey To The Center Of The Mind. I like this.

  • A former member wrote: Reality is only illusion. Reality is all confusion. Insanity is the solution. Excellent extrapolation. Love your verbal vindication.

    "And the memories of razor blades that your blood managed to stain" I really love that one, too. Ties into the insanity; the confusion of it all, not really knowing when, how, or why you do things..it just somehow "manages" to be.
