I'll Tell My Secrets To The Moon
So long as you furnish me with a window
And a steel frame bed in a corner of a room
I’ll endeavour to keep the pane transparent
To give my eyes a crystal clear view of the moon
Regardless of what phase you are going through
Whether it be half, crescent, full, blue or new
You have never once shown me your dark side
But so many times I have shown mine to you
But tranquillity can be seen on a clear night
Tides roll through my veins as thoughts flood to my pen
Of all the ancestors that have gone before me
Who've had the same moon looking down over them
So long as you furnish me with a window
And a steel frame bed in a corner of a room
Yo

Broken Little Girl
Empty eyes
Filled with sorrow
Empty heart
Filled with agony
Empty soul
Filled with anger
Look at her
Look at what
You turned her into
Literature
By your side
Is your soul gone?
Is your heart broken?
Is your mind a mess?
Are your hopes and dreams dead?
Are you rejected for being who you are?
Then your place is right here
By our side
By the side of the broken ones
United to survive
Together to endure the cruelty of this world

I developed this after spending hours in a state of numbness. I'll try and define this down to three words: perception, judgement, and honesty. You may not understand, but I wouldn't expect you to.
To shine some sort of clarity on the poem, think of a person who has gone through a deep depression, who has been given a chance of happiness again, but who feels confused and conflicted by the world around him and of what society/reality expects of him. Of course I am referring to myself in the third person, but I'd like to think this poem could equally be applied to other people, not just something I whittled off as an elaborate vent.
The last stanza spells out "rage". This came about by accident. I'd written down to "All the guilt", when I suddenly looked at the words going down spelling "rag", so then I thought I'd add in "emotions", so that in a weird sort of way the words would spell "rage". It's like a physical manifestation hidden some-what within the context of the overall poem of my own inner feelings at the time of writing.
"Psychosisality" is not a word. I know. So please don't point out that it isn't. "Psychosisality" is an amalgam of "Psychosis", which is a generic term used to describe a mental state involving a loss of contact with reality, mixed with two words ending with "-ality": "Personality" and "Reality".
Originally this was to be called "Broken", but I believe another poem of mine from a year or so ago has the same title. I then thought of "Fractured", but that didn't really resonate with me. Then I remembered "Psychosis", and that on it's own didn't stand out for me. So I went with "Psychosis Reality", which led me to join the two words together to form "Psychosisality".
The definition of "Psychosisality",
noun: the mental state of a loss of control with reality, which has blended with an individual's personality.

Lovely. Simply lovely. This strikes a chord with me; you have a strong aptitude for evoking emotion in your reader.
If you don't mind my asking, what exactly do you mean when you say:
"Only for you to pretend:
Your pity,
Choking on irony"?
Forgive me for the confusion.
