I pull against an indestructible force field.
My sanity is imprisoned in a packet;
I long for these perpetual wounds to be healed.
My consciousness is in a hypnotic state;
I try to resist the swirling whirlpools of life.
My reality stabs my heart like a knife;
I must break free from this confined form.
My freedom will make me reborn.

My soul is enshrouded in a straight-jacket;
I pull against an indestructible force field.
My sanity is imprisoned in a packet;
I long for these perpetual wounds to be healed.
My consciousness is in a hypnotic state;
I try to resist the swirling whirlpools of life.
My reality stabs my heart like a knife;
I must break free from this confined form.
My freedom will make me reborn.

You said it was phycotic poetry. I can't help but laugh at that for I can't think of anything as such because I think of myself as phycotic so to me it's just poetry.

Your's by the way is excellent i liked it. We can't help but go with the flow of life because in a game of tug a war it wins almost always

Hope to read more soon
