My deep, dark, evil, twisted & fucked up mind

By Mr. Joshua Paul Johnson

There is no guide for mental well being, and that hasn't changed.

However in a deep dive through your own mind you can discover a lot of things about yourself.
that's what this is.

"My deep, dark, evil, twisted & fucked up mind" is a work of passion, that doubles as a cry for help. It is burying your face in your pillow and screaming to get out all of your frustrations. An exorcism of your own demons, and an acknowledgment of your issues.

Fog,

A mist that blocks the sight of my past, a vast disgrace,

Impeding vision of a time and place, that is mine.

Seeking out the young man I have erased,

Searching for the faith that I've misplaced,

Haunted by the life that now lies in waste,

Moving on at a zombie's pace,

Dissect my mind, try to crack the case.

Case closed.

What a fucking waste.
