I started realising

I was out of my mind

When I began enjoying my pain

A new normal for insanity

Broken mind, broken heart

Broken feelings.

I heard them saying

I need a therapist,

While I felt self harm

Was my therapy.

I got too messed up

And stayed too long in my head

Than reality.

They called me mentally ill

and I hated to hear it

For I felt I knew what was happening.

I was in a cave of my own sorrows.

What would they expect

From a man with a broken mind

 and broken heart?

Life can make you mentally retarded.

If you ask me I will tell you

“Life just happened”
