A poem by Josh Gantomasso

 

I am in control of the world

Which lies upon a string

People conspire against me

And mutter thoughtless things

 

Living in a world distorted  by delusions

Can make you frightened and confused

I wonder why my minds perceptions

Are battered and abused

 

Finding what is real and what is fake

Cannot be easily done

Many think you are crazy

And friends begin to shun

 

The doctors said something was wrong

With a chemical in my brain

They say I’m not the one

Who’s causing all this pain

 

But no one wants to talk to me

And no one seems to care

They say that all these things I see

Were never even there

 

There has to be a way to end this

There has to be a way

They’re filling me with pills and drugs

Twenty times a day

 

Sometimes I sit and wonder

As I stare at the big white wall

Why is this haunting me?

Because I’m heading for a fall

 

They say there are others like me

They say I’m not alone

But I can’t think about others

Until this bird has flown

 

If I could have just one wish

Just one thing granted today

I’d give you everything, my life

If you would make this go away
