Psych


Scared to let nature be nature

a mutant form of thinking

the brain molded into some sick twisted operating system, a brain within a brain

the scary twin brother of all that is normal

the engine of a car telling the wheels and axels to misbehave

the gift of thought kidnapped by guilt and fear

the skill of self recognition slowly atrophys 

scared to let what is destiny take its course.
