1. DISMANTLED

So much destruction in one fell swoop
Confused it was me and what i could do
Feels like i woke up to so much destruction
Perspective shifts and i can barely function
Breakdown in logic destroys the pattern
Dismantle
Detach
Dismember
Disconnect
Short comings poke through
Colossal failure in brain’s pattern


2. CONFRONTATION

Cant talk through a feeling
Cant reason with fact
Less concerned with truth
Than being right
Slice through my skin
See how i feel
But the fact is
I’m still bleeding
Existence
Life is confrontation
See something you don’t like
Learn to leave it
Or learn to fight
It still exists


3. MEDICATION

Inherit a crutch
When it’s difficult
Just give up
Drugs
Medication
Dependence bought
Temporary solution
Given to a kid
Showing how to cope
Showing how to live


4. IT ONLY GETS WORSE

Forced in
Thrust out
Change your name
Change your face
Forced hands
It will wear you down
Until you change
Forced
It doesn’t get better
It only gets worse


5. INSTITUTION

Ushered one building to the next
An institution
A snipers nest
Course correction serves to push
A direction
Perceived help turns to hurt
At risk
At wit’s end
Meant to fit structure
Borrowed stolen belitted
It’s an institution
