Reality Kicks by Terese Blåklokke

Learning the truth
can tear you apart
wrench your guts
and change 
	your heart

the solution is simple
but hard to complete
you must 
	let it rip
and reap the wheat

you must welcome 
	the actual
braincrunching fact
that the «experts» 
	you trust
are all part 
	of an act

they’re playing 
	their parts
as government tools
not knowing they too
are brainwashed 
	fools

«this poet is joking
she’s surely sarcastic»
you laugh 
	as your brain
turns more 
	into plastic

After over 20 years of battling the symptoms, Terese Blåklokke has overcome the struggles of her illness “schizoaffective disorder” through faith, art, poetry, food, intensive introspection and mental training. Today, when an official “expert” claims to present facts, she is quick to search elsewhere for the actual solutions – as that has been where she most often has found hers.
