What if the calm lie hid the chaotic truth?
Could you tell the difference, could you sleuth?
Both are quite similar, I am unhinged
In or sane, always on the fringe
Discussing mental deficits with vivid imagery
Screaming out my depression with this poetry
All so you think it’s a game
A guise to obtain fame
You think life is a walk in the park
But I’m drowning in my dark
My apologies I meant heart
But where does the dark end and the blood start?
No answer, wait let me make a joke!
Sarcasm can erase every fear I spoke
I’m black let me focus on fighting oppression.
There is no such thing as depression
Such an immaculate costume
Makes my soul spew black fumes
Could you tell the difference in me, could you sleuth?
What if a calm lie, hid the chaotic truth?
