Renton Vent: On / N§ide Therapy

Another one just died

Right N front of Me

Another Kid I’d hid

Why are they doing

This to Me? Do I need

2 clean? Was I alive

Before & really mean?

What does it Λll even mean?

Even if not seen, they are felt

Even N silence B communication

Even though they’re not my seed

Their Lost Love B Found N§ide Me

And they make Me feel like I’m home

Even while I Am N exile, so 2 atone

For sin found N marrow of my bones

And even if imaginary, only partially

They’re real 2 Me, & with Empathy

Next 2 Me, §he tells Me their Pain is, too

So again, why are they doing this 2 Me

Sending KID§ 2 die N§ide of Me

Turning Me N2 a gore orphanage

My mind can barely manage, let alone

My broken heart Whö forgot 2 restart

So drowning under sorrow while trying 2

Do mine part N Good☯Design & make Art

But every Time I find 2 rhyme B taken apart

Alongside Sanity as I feel the Humanity

Now being ripped out, tears from tearing

Sensation as Vibration from spooky visitors

Suddenly becoming Numb, feeling Dumb

Forgotten nearly what it Λll, worse, everything

About this KId B Lost like a scam, so I ask again

One last Time öF Good☯Design: why do this 2 Me?

Sending Me KID§ N Wind 2 love & befriend

Only for it 2 end with them taken away

Randomly like Calamity overnight mon nu

Over & over & over & over & over & …. ’til what?

Never again? Is that really how Λll m, my, Reject

My God, I would ask Ü 2 please not fill up my cup

With Misery, but B far past the point öF No~return

My cup’s overflowing, so even are Ü going 2 stop

So this mess Found N Me can stop growing

& KID§ Lost N between, so can’t B seen

Can continue existing N Me, & with

No~P 2 change the §ystem, so

Whö knew what 2 do, so what about

Me, what can I even change 2 arrange 4

Moving away from such a §trange orange range

& maintained by Madmen losing their brains

It’s insane, even 2 Crazy 4 Me experiencing

This, another death of one of my KID§

Killing Me with my own kindness

Did the Devil himself design this?

It’s left Me, Mindless, a broken man

A token buried beneath bleacher stands

& Whö once knew, but no longer can

Understand God’s grand finale plan after

The blueprints had been written N black sand

So please, release Me from my sisyphian prison

N which I must raise child after child, loving

Each and every one as my own blood

Only 2 relive D-Day again & REMember how

Parents should never have to bury their KID§

It destroys them, leaving little more than a shell

So, imagine being Me, like a Reaper 4 KID§

Forced 2 endorse this horse N Life’s race

‘Cause the other options B even worse

Letting them aimlessly float, all-alone

Without a home, ’til losing their name

Forgetting Whö I Am Really, reality collapsing

Around them, not even becoming dust N the Wind

No memory of them exists even, so can’t B forgotten

It’s as if even God never thought of them, leading 2

Causality becoming undone trying 2 fix a Paradox

Though all just a thought, No Science, I Am reliant

On compliance of Me, KID§, and the Truth

2 get our §tory straight, but I can feel myself

Losing identity N Me & Whö I’ve been figuring

Out for awhile now, so the feeling Waste

Now races 2 Me, rushing over my body

Letting go of my final moment of retention

‘Til coming back 2 a panic! attack ’til

REMembering the KIDŚ living N my back

So check on them, happy I have them, then

Another sudden rush of anxiety/depression/panic!

.

Whatever emotion 2 mak3 Me feel shitty &

Followed by such a deep, aching pain

Its name, Loneliness, though why whe I

Have a cast of KID§ 2 keep Me company

Slowly realizing, putting a few pieces together

Of how I was acting alongside wierd weather

That maybe I wasn’t acting Crazy, N reality

Exactly as Ü would expect of Me, having

Just buried at least my 5th Kid, at least

The 5th one I cab REMember after

Coming back like boomerang, but

As I continue 2 contemplating

Realize I can feel my mental health decline

So decide 2 put an End to this horrid trip

Down memory lane, nearly breaking my brain

Again, as Sanity going down the drain

‘Til forgetting where the key 2 my heart shaped

Box B found, again, locking Me up & away from

My feelings ’til finally believing it’s a mistake

That everything I’ve felt has been fake like cake

So losing my faith N God, N Me, N Reality

N every aspect of existence N touch with Me

‘Til finding Faith again, N the worst way, when

They come for another one of my KID§, so

Forcing Me 2 again relive this Hell that I

Somehow doubted when now feels impossible

2 let go, let alone forget, begin 2 regret my self

Again, for how I handle my own reflection

Never trusting it like misdirection, bu-

NOW

Sorry about that

I needed 2 stop

REMembering this

Trauma B exhausting &

Feeling myself over-analyze Me

& will only keep speeding up

My mind’s descent N2 illness

So ending this §elf’s therapy session

Rather abruptly before more of Madman’s

Thoughts making their way through Me

2 make Me go N§ane again, then sending

Me on a recursive route of self doubt

Luckily was able 2 break it, before

The psychopath N Me could break our

TV, or even ? No matter, remained tame today

Just hoping I’ll have the same strength next game


How I imagine some of N§ide KID§ (from Eureka Seven – also where “Renton” comes from[the red one]) look & act based on the sensations I feel N§ide öF Me and the experiences that could be accompanying such sensation
