Shouldn't See

Location

I found a doctor who doesnt believe a word I say
He asked what was wrong with me on this day
I replied "I see things that I shouldn't see
A world without sweet honey or bees
To sting"
"A world without honey or bees," he said 
"Im going to have to send to you the institute of dead"
 
Honey and bees, good and bad
No one argees because no one sees
 
I see things
Hear things
Feel things
That I shouldnt feel
 
I was sent to the institute of dead
They asked what I could see
And when I told they them wouldn't believe
They asked what I could hear
I said "I hear your misery.
Its why you can't be free"
"Misery, we can't be free?" They said
"I'm going to recommend you see a friend"
 
Misery, set them free
No one hears because we all fear
 
I see things
Hear things
Feel things
That I shouldn't feel
 
I see the deads friend, late outside
Through a coffee stained window
The friend asked what I could feel
"I feel you standing here, but 
I see you are outside"
He appeared and said,
"It's a good thing the doctor misread"

When I couldn't sleep one night, I made this. It is kind of about insomnia and creatures I picture as insomnia beings.
