Schizophrenic

Schizophrenic 

 

Darkness floods a broken mind 

Screaming out for calmness to find 

Sanity drowns in torrential tears 

Crowded in loneliness that no one hears 

 

With open mouth words haunt the air 

Medication needed ,but to dark to care. 

Menacing shadows breed violence assured 

As notice is taken of the voices heard 

 

Changes are writhe with character sway 

Always forgotten some would say. 

Two people present but one body and soul 

One taken over by madness so cold 

 

Unreasonable words drip rashly from tongue

Actions and gestures alarmingly strong 

Care arrives to calm and console 

Medication induced for rest and resolve 

 

Effectiveness swift as chaos retreats 

As darkness and anger take a back seat 

A tormented mind rests once more 

For exactly how long we are never so sure. 

 

D.J.L

    A terrible condition. Hopefully you're not blessed to have experienced it personally?
    We become afraid at people being unpredictable; label them odd or strange; we back off from them and leave them alone. These are some reactions we may have.

    I work for the national health service in England my work involves me in areas where there are vulnerable adults and children it’s so sad at times because all are lovely people. But for obvious reasons at times it’s upsetting. My poem is inspired from regular first hand experience.
