I’m revolving in a sphere of madness and tranquility.
I no longer have control of my senses and its remedies.
Drowning, suffocating, in a sea of pure insanity.
Questions linger behind the unanswered mysteries.
My mind is blurred, my mind is untouchable,
my mind keeps me happy and yet, so uncomfortable.
My mind is so angry, so sad, so uncontrollable.
My heart only wonders if I’ll ever be normal.
