Daily hallucinations crowd my mind
Uncanny thoughts happen all the time.
Darkness deludes the life I choose to see
Individuals I'm acquainted with disagree.

Mental paradise is a place I go often
Where the many irritations haven't been.
My eyes are the sky and it's raining
The issues in my mind are not entertaining.

With all this evidence I don't see the answer
My essence is tired I need an enhancer.
It's been hurt numerous times in the same spot
I was running away but nowadays I'm caught.

Look at the stars; they sure are pretty tonight
Each one a pointer showing me the way through life.
The man on the moon is trying to tell me something
But I'm misunderstanding his message or something.

I'm sliding down the rainbow; the storm has passed
But I know this sunshine won't last.
No matter what the ground is the object of ridicule
When the lightening hits and destroys self-rule.  


"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."
-James Baldwin

The last line was a very powerful one to conclude the poem of ridicule, well done.
