Monsters roam the real world
Unseen by the 'normal'
Reality deluded by fantasy
Never alone, they're always there
Watching my every move
Following my every step
It wasn't like this
I was once part of the 'norm'
Once knew reality from fantasy
Thanks to abuse that all changed
Years of hurt and neglect
Singled out by so-called 'friends'
Locked away from society's eye
With only my thoughts as company
Trapped alone in a twisted world
My mind shadowed by an evil
Misunderstood by all who know me
Labelled 'crazy' by the 'sane'
In a room of smiling faces
I'm the only one who's crying
In a room full of the strong
I am the only weak
Picturing my release from this
The end of my life in this world
My life a saddened story
Of reality and fantasy
The monsters failed to break me
This evil made me stronger
Sweet psychosis made me someone
I never thought I could be
A triumph out of sadness
I overcome my monsters
Beat depression and psychosis
Once again I'm 'normal'
No longer crying out for help
