Analysis of MANIC



In the deep dark mind
Lies a billion secrets to find
Spinning like the galaxies
Far out of reach from reality
Twisted and confused
So lost; so used; abused
Thoughts sent racing
Reaching in the darkness chasing
Stability; Sanity
But all you find is profanity
A filter? Where?!
Is it in the distance? Please, share

Myself can't even understand what's going on. So I too could understand fully of what my mind is telling me, I decided to attempt to write it down. I actually managed to get every word. And this is what come out:
