It has already run its course
Coursing through my bloodstream no more
More focus isn't my virgin state
State the reason why I'm unnatural
Unnatural drugs foreign down my throat into my brain
Brain isn't balanced isn't perfect isn't fair so
So I must compensate
Compensate for what? I do not know
No abstract thoughts after it's consumed, no spacing out
Out of my mind I'm kicked out of my own mind
Mind the gap in synapses
Synapses in thought and dreaminess
Dreaminess is killed with "Dextroamphetamine Salts"
Assaulting the fading haven in the clouds of my own imagination
Imagine all I could do, all I could be
Being me isn't good enough
Enough.

Just because we think differently does not mean there is anything "unbalanced" about us. (but science has to have some way to explain uniqueness) It is a blessing to not be tied down by overbearing and weighty logic. From the begining of time mans greatest failures have come about by trying to make other men share their same thought/s. By force if necessary. I am the way I was created to be, and for a purpose therefore I am proud to be.... Me. "Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind"
