Editor's choice
There have been no new and old
days; I stand powerless, feeling one
awful, unending horror unfold
until the start and end are no longer
imaginable.  I don't remember the last
time things were alright.  There is
an infestation in my mind; paranoia
spreading rot, gathering converts, getting stronger.

You shouldn't leave bananas
with other fruit, but what does my
mind care for sense or rules.
I've lost the ability to reason; but why
would I need to do a thing like that -
I couldn't evict the parasites
even if I had the strength to try.

Thank you, Carl! 
I needed to create something short that would represent psychosis and insomnia; I tried to express the thoughts and feelings associated with a psychotic episode combined with - and worsened by - the effects of lack of sleep.
The part about bananas seemed to fit so well; as an example of slightly odd and obscure thought processes as well as the word 'bananas' having that very relevant double-meaning.
Thanks again!
