triste Psicosi


Which is better

depression or mania

 

What is worse

organic psychosis or obscure sadness 

 

You see the bright white i see the solemn 

grey

I don't mean to sound desperate but

everything is wrong

 

Black & grey & sometimes violent red

personified as what is inside my skull

 

Awareness of statistics- i preach comfort

Doubt of passion- i preach resilience 

 

I've not yet found the scraps of the torn

portrait but, man, do You seem to be 

stirring up a concoction of what i need

"it can't be that easy"

 

But what is better

overcoming or stabilizing

 

Truthfully, what is worse

staying or leaving
