"Everything & Nothing (Green)" by T3canolis

Nothing is real

Just an illusion

It is all fake

Me; institution

I am not crazy

I swear it cannot be

It's just I can't stand them

The ghosts around me

Not just the ghosts

But the talking bananas, too

They'd think you're crazy

If they were all around you

They give me medication

But it just makes the bananas worse

Why do I see them?

I swear it is a curse

I also see dragons

Big, scaly, and white

I also swear I see ghosts

On the rooftop at night

Asylum unneeded

Mental health in check

No need for nurses

Breathing down my neck

They say I'm dangerous

That I have slaughtered and killed

But I swear it was the bananas

Who caused all of the blood spilled

I don't need attention

Or doctors or pills

They should kill the bananas

For the bananas give me chills

It's not my fault

The bananas have voices

They dictate my moods

And they dictate my choices

I am trapped in this hellhole

But I swear I am sane

Everyone else is blind

The bananas aren't in my brain

They are everywhere

On the table, on the walls, on the bed

They are anywhere they want to be

But they are not in my head

They ride atop unicorns

Through the cold, wicked, night

I try to forget them

But it is a useless fight

I beg and I plead to the doctors

But they think that I am unwell

I am their hostage, surely

And for that, they'll go to hell

I know I am fine

The bananas are real

All I ever could want

Is someone who knows how I feel

No expression without ridicule

No fun without a reminder

No life without bananas

My brain put through a grinder

The pills suppress the bananas

But that is their grandest trick

They want me to think I'm crazy

So when I take the pills, they hide real quick

But I am awfully perceptive

Contrary to how it may seem

Because I know their little tricks

For I know their little scheme

This place is driving me mad

Some days I'm down with depression

My mood swings are innumerable

Because others, I have constant agression

The bananas are real

Lack of delusion

I know I am a sane man

Without a sane solution

I have told you about the bananas

On my bed, my desk, and my shelf

But the worst part is

I know I'm a banana myself

Author comments: I don't know what the hell this is. It just flowed out of my brain uncontrollably. I think it is beautiful and the ending is amazing. Goodbye.
