Dead in the head (Mad Jack)

“Come on” said Mad Jack “pull yer finger out”
“Stop acting like a tart” he laughed
“Throw away your self doubt”

I looked and cried, “you don’t know me inside”
Mad Jack looked and smiled.
“Oh yes I do, because I am you”
“No your not – this cannot be!” I shouted.

Then I sat and thought, and doubted
That anything in this world was real,
That my mind would ever heal.

Have I ever been my self
Did I take life and make it mine
Or did I settle on a shelf
And commit a terrible crime

“Yes” said Mad Jack, sitting very still,
“You did the worst!”
“It was me you did kill!”
“And now it really hurts”
