psychosis is a misplaced metaphor

so i watched tyler perry's 'for colored girls' today. it reminded me of a time when i was misunderstood. you see, at various times throughout the movie, the women would stare off into space and go off on these long soliloquies that made absolutely no sense, beyond the sense that it made because they had craziness going on in own their lives. beyond that, no sense at all.
take these women out of that backdrop, put them on a street corner with all their imagery and metaphors and they would be put away.
crazy is relative and psychosis is a misplaced metaphor.

I didn't think they made much sense either. It was like "Yo yo yo. Let me cop that." And then it turned into, "All the sufferings of long ago will never amount to the pain I feel for your love." Whaaaaaat?
