Analysis of Psychotic dichotomy

PSYCHOTIC DICHOTOMY
My teeth are rotting; this pain outlasts my pride.
Make god damned sure to black out the scenes
Where those I have loved have taken me.
I’ll shave my head, just get on with it!
In preparation, I killed the magpie
A droning everlastingness.
Pull me, mind fuck, brain suck, lobotomy
There’s no place left to put this.
Someone is laughing inside their own infancy
Their mouth a gaping trench hole of treachery
A point of light, deep colors piercing,
One point, one light, one pointed light came through me.
That somnolent gatekeeper from hell, god damn!
Pull my memory out from my head!
The split tail tongue of sentiment‘s will!
Dives deep in the belly, the unconscious whale
I woke up that day to the once familiar voice
The pretense in the words was deafening
Referring to me by my first name
Then the children stopped calling me mommy.
Oblivion blurs fact with fiction, take note;
The mind of a child; favors molded tightly.
From the mouth of babes, few words spoken
Premeditated moves not easily broken
The scene retreating a battlefield lonely
Behind the fortifications Of Troy
Deception's gift, a ruthless eye
From the wooden beast they poured forth
KNOWLEDGE TAKES ITS PLACE IN LINE.
