A marionette with blood drop strings,
crying liquid metal tears...
Trying to make sense of the world with glass skin.

Abiding by a poison only seen by him
Grinning when getting beaten because to do the opposite is worse
and any person that tries to understand he crushes with his own hands
because on the grand scheme of things
he sings to his own heart beat. Alone.

There's nothing that appeases him
as his depression grows deeper and deeper
the keeper of his demise lies within his head.
A pencil full of lead becomes a vessel of animosity.
Probably because he has nothing else to vent to.

Exposure becomes less and less of an option.
Pain trickles down his wrist personified as a blood drop.
His fun stopped awhile ago,
now he's trapped on a rock fertilized with death
and he doesn't know why the people around him wont let him go.

A marionette with blood drop strings,
crying liquid metal tears...
Trying to make sense of the world with glass thoughts.

He sees the world as a demon.
He sees death as an Angel.
Reciprocated mind-state for someone so young and fragile.

If only someone could save him.
If only someone was around.

No one is around.
He sings to his own heart beat. Alone.

I am sorry for your pain if this is autobiographical, which I fear it is.

You certainly know how to put a picture in someone's head.  This one cuts deep, just the way I like it.

I feel like this from time to time.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 with psychotic features.

So much so.. that sometimes psychologists mistake my disorder for Schizophrenia.

Just to give you guys an idea of who I am and why I feel that way.

I am so achingly sorry to hear more of what you are going through, Damien.  Surely there are meds that can help?
