Schizophrenia (Or So They Say)

I got named as a psychiatric state
All because I couldn’t wait
To see what life held behind the curtain
And I’d be lying if I said I was hurting
Cause there is beauty in the extreme
And this life might be someone else’s dream
And saying as such earned me a degree
I’m certified as what you see
But do their words have any meaning
Or is it all just a great seeming
As they note their pads full of ink
But I don’t believe what they think
As I absorb the constellations
And disregard their iterations
And I know how I ended up here
I just don’t think I’ll tell you, dear
As you compassionate the signs
And I laugh because the designs
Won’t be held by a human hand
If you weren’t listening I said I was grand
And, sure, some thoughts came into my head
But I’m the same person that walks to dread
I’m the same one who wakes in the morning
And just because the sky’s a storming
Doesn’t mean there’s no expanse beyond
I reach what you teach like a bleach blonde
