Art Of Radical Insight

To psychoanalyze my state of mind
within framework of the Hamlet discourse,
I enter laboratory of the state
to practice art of radical insight
through performance of madness inside words
that wards off ghosts listening at my door.
On contours of my deep ambivalence
toward secret nature of my serpent heart
I stumble against obstacles of hope
to shift attention of my eager faith
through misdirection of my stated goals
to evade being role model for the world.
I am no mascot for this fractured time
by surfing waves of elemental change
though I lounge in consulting room of fear
to wrestle angels of aggressive cheer
who test fierce loyalty of my shy heart
to the faceless monster who reigns on high.
Wearing mask of the psychoanalyst,
I guide lost souls with lyre of Mercury
that rings with melodies Orpheus wrote
from cavern of illusions trapped in words
they write with blood of angels in blank books
to formulate fuel from sludge of despair.
Attempting to figure out who I am,
I strip away all signs of social status
so I stand naked on the careless field,
unshielded by illusions of false pride,
though I must suffer weird mental dysfunction
because I chant weird prophecies of fate.
Uncanny to myself, I hear my voice
reverberate against walls of the state
which shakes pillars of the establishment,
yet I sing visions from my own deep mind,
which no shadowed muse demands I dictate,
that springs from weird persona of my soul.
When I stop to think about the weird world,
the wires of my brain explode sparks of code
that reprogram how I perceive the real,
perhaps because I sublimate harsh truth
with polished metaphors of sublime art
that traps demonic horror in strict form.
My one big theory tangled in my heart
explains true nature of the universe
that organizes every disparate fact
in sprawling puzzle of our memories
which I assemble from all human tales
to psychoanalyze my state of mind.

Orpheus writes notes in his book as he listens to me recount the various traumatic moments of my life to help me psychoanalyze my state of mind.
