I Can't Take It Anymore!

I Can't Take It Anymore!

A Story by Michael Stevens
"

That mysterious land of confusion!

"

Verse:

 

It's either morning, or the middle of the night.

In an upside down world, nothing looks right.

 

This damn illusion-orb on the end of my neck,

with synopsis misfiring, it's a thought-filled train wreck.

 

Pre-Chorus:

 

Can't keep my mind from wandering to and fro.

Keep on staggering to places I'd rather not go.

 

Verse:

 

Creating worlds that never really exist at all,

these flights of fancy are driving me up the wall.

 

Incredulous situations that only exist in my head,

reliving magnified, the cringe-worthy things I've said!

 

Repeat Pre-Chorus:

 

Chorus:

 

These space-cadet thoughts--I Can't Take It Anymore!

I trip the light fantastic every night--it's such a chore.

 

Your thinking is pathetic, and there's nothing you can do.

Accompanied by make-believe--but it becomes real to you!

 

Verse:

 

Wide-awake dreaming--paranoid becomes main-stream.

How impossible it is, but how very real it seems.

 

When it's turn the lights off, it's turn the strange on.

All control over thoughts and feelings is long gone.

 

A bizarre world where your mind wanders where it will,

drags the reason of your conscious mind through the mill.

 

Repeat Pre-Chorus:

 

Repeat Chorus:

 

End

It was very good and very deep. I would recommend making it more of a poem instead of a song. It would make a very good slam poem or spoken word poem. Overall I liked it.

I write for fun; I write comedy pieces and some dramatic stuff. I have no formal writing education, and I have a fear of being told I suck, and maybe I should give up on writing, and get a job makin.. more..
