INSIDE UP, OUTSIDE DOWN

When the mind snaps you cannot explain why.

When the mind is out of control, all you can do is cry.

Cry for help, cry for support, cry for no reason.

When your heart stops feeling love you become numb.

When your brain shuts down, you become stupid or dumb.

You cannot speak, you cannot eat…you starve your psyche.

When day by day your life slows down, stops, or worse.

When all you know becomes distant memories, it is a curse.

You are doomed to fail; success is beyond your grasp.

Why must this happen? Why must this happen to me?

Why cannot I hear those around me? Why cannot I not see?

Shall I live out my life alone? Shall I not find happiness?

Memories flash before me…taunt me…haunt me.

Life has turned inside up and outside down.

I am the jester where once I wore the crown.
