Hypnosis Poem by James Grengs

Hypnosis-
That's what this is;
I'm crazy-
All I can see
Is spots and lines-
I've lost all track of time
I just realized
I must be hypnotized.

Life rollin', rollin' past
My head is spinnin', spinnin' fast.
I don't get it, I don't understand
Why green is water and blue is land
Things keep flippin out of control
I'm seeing things through a purple fishbowl-

Zonin' as the days go by-
Dyin' never knowin' why;
TV makes my life look weird,
I'm a senior without a beard;
Girls don't know me, they don't care,
Because inside I'm not all there-

Seein' in my crystal ball
Tyin to make sense of it all
Never gettin' all of it
Blocked because my head don't fit
Zippin' out of reality
Don't know which of me is me.

Stop these voices in my head,
Let me get some sleep in bed;
I want to be normal,
Like the rest of them all.
I'm sick of-
Hypnosis-
That's what this is;
I'm crazy-
All I can see
Is spots and lines-
I've lost all track of time
I just realized
I must be hypnotized.
