CACOPHONY
Is there someone much like me:
Synapses electrically askew;
an underdeveloped amygdala and
rapid cycling moods. No balance
I wonder if those voices I hear
are familiar to another too.
Not commands or suggestions..
a cacophony that my head can't turn off.
Several at once - sometimes I strain
to discern the conversation. It's always inane
but disturbing because I know it involves me.
I'm not on mescaline, LSD or even paranoid...
Perhaps the hippie drugs would clarify the whole thing.
I have lost hope in being understood
When my behavior is erratic, it's because
I'm bipolar and something not so good:
Did you know this greatly compromises your credibility?
