The irrational

by Drexinator

It is dark when it is light

I am the most hated,

everyone is my friend. 

This is my thinking process,

It's not pretend.

My genuine fear is 

to lose connection with external reality.

Because mine is faulty,

I love my piece of shit self.

I'm the highest of quality trash.

I will hurt myself to feel better

and emotionally kill the ones I love. 

I will not to study to do well in a class

but nonetheless pass.

I'd like common sense to be my nationality

therefore,

I must murder irrationality.
