The soft soothing light
Slowly starts fade
And the grip on my sanity
Begins to degrade
My spirit sinks slowly
Back into the black sea
As I realize normalcy and happiness
Was not meant to be
Devoured once again
By my ravenous psychosis
Death of my spirit
Is my final prognosis
The demons start to appear
As paranoia starts to set in
And the unsettling voices
Start to begin
As I now wander lost
Within my sickened mind
Escape from schizophrenia
I know I shall never find

Welcome
Simply brilliant
That is so good
Bloody well done
Thank you so much!!
Very well written..it's almost frightening how well you capture what that feels like...are you schizophrenic for real or is this just a general poem??I don't wanna sound ignorant..I really have no idea and I don't want to be disrepectful here..I'm just curious..in any event this was very captivating to read.
Thank you for the read Pharaoh, I am not schizophrenic, although sometime it seems I am. I did have a friend when I was younger who developed it very young @ 19 and it was very sad to see it take him deep into his own mind over time and never find a way out. I like to write about different issues and try and put myself inside of the person or place I write about, which most of it I'm sure have all encountered in our lives whether directly or indirectly. Thanks again for taking time to read and comment my friend.
No problem..yes I agree..it is good to be able to put ourselves in others shoes and be able to write about the experience..so this is absolutely brilliant work..you ARE A POET..LIKE IT OR NOT..LOL
Brilliant piece, one that I can relate to immensely - I wrote one a few days ago called 'Schizophrenia' about similar. You have done justice to a difficult subject, it's good comnsidering how common mental ill health is to see people working to combat the taboo xx
Yes a difficult subject, I am saddened at how little our government cares about mental health even though it's so prevalent in our country. The amount of homeless with mental health issues that crowd our street corners these days, because there is nowhere for them to got to get the real help they need! Anyway I can go on and on but thank you so much for the read and comment, really means a lot.... NAP
