The Dark Cycle of Human Life

madeline

(paranoia-unjustified suspicion)
(paralysis- stagnation of an individual)
(parasitic/parasitism-exploitation)

Paranoia, Paralysis, Parasitic.
The unholy trinity, somehow connected, is quite complex
and if not understood, can perplex.  
A crystal ball of insanity, it’s quite psychotic

It's a cycle, a dark cycle of the human mind
Which one, without enough torture, cannot find
Like drowning in your own wave of dilemma
Undecisive, you’re a sinner

It all starts with paranoia,
 a self-injected anaesthesia
like a criminal on the death penalty
you dissociate with your reality
 

for thy eyes and thy heart
everyone is a backstabber--
throwing a poison dart
even the tiniest of the atoms feels like a dagger.

Now comes the weight of paralysis
a cold, calculated soul analysis
every move feels like a trap
almost as if you’re running an infinity lap

Caged, confined, imprisoned
paralysis has you mentally dead
nothing makes sense now
there’s a trifle you endow.

The final stage of human destruction
Parasitism, a hollow, starving induction
the heart wrenches and rots, with maggots
and the mind has been shot

Withering, Scathing and Dying
a cannibal, creepily horrifying
what once was a garden, is now a desert
a storm-struck wasteland, you’re now disconcert.

    Well-written.Your revolves around mental anguish, self-doubt, and the deterioration of the psyche. It portrays the descent into madness and the ultimate breakdown of the self, using vivid imagery and metaphors to depict the psychological torment experienced by the individual.

      When set free, understand what blessing there be: where those that curse you, get cursed. where blessings are returned: it's a reverse coarse!

          Well written it speaks of one hypersensitive to things around them that then spins them into attack and persecution. Well done
