Falling from the Moon

[ACTIVATE SELF]

My soul is tired and my bones ache, cold lonely nights I spend wide awake
Going insane with a straight face is kind of like solitary confinement with no breaks
Prison escapes is all I think about, but I'm in no cage, in a total state of agony, but I feel no pain
If Doc diagnosed me crazy today, I'd be OKAY, I'd watch the pieces fall in place
Then implement change at a slow pace. Kind of play it by ear ya know?
It wouldn't be so lonely if I could hear the ghosts. I know that's weird for most
But I spent 7 years alone just because my mirror broke. So far as spirits go
I try my best to keep em close, I guess that's schizophrenic tho
But I don't care to live remote or swim around like fish in bowls
Surviving off a chicken bone that grants me wishes, gifts, and gold
Suppose that's superstitious, but I don't really give a DAMN!
Can't see the forest for the trees when stranded in the desert sand
Granted I take medicine to focus when I'm panicking
Reading body language tryna pass their head exam
I use to have a better plan consisting of a weathered plant
But it was unreliable, I always use to wake up dead
My dignity's intact tho, this misery's a cash flow
I scribble on a canvas, my memories in flash strokes
My brush feels the energy, the paint makes it synergy
Splashes hit the backdrop then pain turns to imagery
Brilliantly, chaotically and every other honest-'ly'
I'm obviously intoxicated, huffing paint from burning paper
Vapors fill my studio, I'm dancing in the midnight flame
My soul for a masterpiece? It's seeming like a fair exchange
Van Gogh gave his own ear! L. Wane pawned his whole brain
Basquiat sold both veins. I'm guessing it's a natural thing
To sacrifice for art's sake...expressions of a tortured mind
I pledge my life to heartache, and pay the price the Devil fines
For beauty....................

This was cool.

Nice...

"Can't see the forest for the trees when stranded in the desert sand"

Hopefully this gets some more love. Adverse will appreciate the poetic feel of this I think.

Solid writing here man. Keep it coming.

Thought this was dope. Probably the fav from you that I've read.

The switch ups in flow felt natural and was cool, great multies here n there to spice it up. Some really good quotables for sure:

It wouldn't be so lonely if I could hear the ghosts. I know that's weird for most
But I spent 7 years alone just because my mirror broke. So far as spirits go
I try my best to keep em close
^That's fire

I do feel like you missed out on an opportunity to keep your scheme going on this tho:
Surviving off a chicken bone that grants me wishes, gifts, and gold
Suppose that's superstitious, but I don't really give a DAMN!

If you had reworded it like "superstitious, no? I don't really..." or something like that, a word with the "o"-sound in it and then fully switch it up afterwards for a more fluent transition.

Another section I enjoyed:
I scribble on a canvas, my memories in flash strokes
My brush feels the energy, the paint makes it synergy
Splashes hit the backdrop then pain turns to imagery
Brilliantly, chaotically and every other honest-'ly'
^Thought this line was creative and cool

Enjoyed the fluent style-changes throughout and concept you went for with the painting stuff and references. It read fluidly and thought you stitched it together well for the closure. Solid drop
