Kaleidoscope

My attempt to shed light on the mental health issues of so many people.

Kaleidoscope

Just can’t explain it
To those looking in
My kaleidoscope lens
Pattern the days of my life
where nothing makes sense
And what I hold dear
Becomes a jumble of fear
disconnected pieces of me
Where nothing seems real
And nothing seems good
With even words misunderstood

On these days I need a magic spell
SO, milky beads and muster seeds
Bring me through these dreadful weeds
Transport me far from mind-filled horrors
Carry me through dangerous floodwaters
Humpty Dumpty put my pieces together
I beg you please, hang on tight forever and ever

So hard to describe
Dismal feelings inside
No one can see,
Jig-sawed fragments
Of misaligned planets
A Kaleidoscope lens
like a piccolo out of tune
dance of the endless blue moon
Playing havoc in my head
With worried thoughts to fuel my dread
Can’t shake this song of mental woes
Emotions battled unopposed

On these days I need a magic spell
SO, milky beads and muster seeds
Bring me through these dreadful weeds
Transport me far from mind-filled horrors
Carry me through dangerous floodwaters
Humpty Dumpty put my pieces together
I beg you please, hang on tight forever and ever
