"LABELS" by Jasmine Javid

She’s a little eccentric-psychotic you say?
Only unwilling to fall for the games people play.
If spontaneity’s a danger, then there’s no hope for me
Impulsive-compulsive, I prefer to stay free.
Psychosis, neurosis-I’ve not killed yet
And for emotional bonds, I’ll not be in debt.
Hysteria and tendencies I can’t spell nor display
God listens to my momma, so let her pray.
A suicide risk?-I’m no fool to die
I thrive on life’s struggles, don’t ask me why.
Masochist, narcissist or just artistically inclined
Only natural highs help me unwind.
Confused, paranoid, who’s rejecting me now?
Yet I manage to survive-ask the specialists how.
Manic, depressed or is balance there?
I aim to please when I shouldn’t really care.
I’m mentally connected and emotionally entwined
I’ve lost my friends but I’ve still got my mind.
Fear of failure and loneliness
My love for mankind lands me in a mess.
Honesty, a virtue, and my qualities
Seem to bring only ruin, misery and disease.
If only my memory and pain I could lose
My humor and talent are considered mere loose screws.
Cognition not lacking, no illusions here
I won’t drown my sorrows in medication or beer.
Shall I find any answers or the all-perfect cure?
Shall I be condemned for my irresistible lure?
A flare for dramatics-is this such a crime?
Only God must forgive me-noone else is sublime.
Socially acceptable or so it seems
None hear my suffering or my soul’s silent screams.
Intense motivation gets me nowhere
Only more lunacy do I seem to ensnare.
So I continue hoping that it gets better than this
Or maybe I’m just drowning in consumer survivor’s abyss?

 

The Child Within

The Child Within

Listen to the sounds of joy that stir within each heart
Spontaneous and free, it’s how we all start.
Untainted and unhampered, pure as breezes flow
As we grow we still retain the vibrant inner glow.
Keep young, forever singing the freedom of the soul
Your music universal shall eternally console.
Spread your carefree seeds bursting with energy
So full of life and magic, your spirit forever free.
