I Say So

I am NOT as insane
As I may appear to be

Oh no

You see,

I AM in fact

Wracked with fractious fluctuations
Far beyond
The realm of fiction

Chaos amidst disarray
Through echoes of a false reflection

Mind of unwound thought most unsound
Bound and gagged
I beg, bedraggled

More unnerved
Than mere neurosis
Annexed by Toxoplasmosis

Torrents of dissociation

Not ~for your consideration~

Treading on a surreality

Unfit for integration

Face it
More shit
You ain’t got the time for
Nor the inclination

Nonetheless

here

i am

How I manage to survive is—
…wait…
The fuck I’m saying?

I don’t.
