Schizophrenia

Hesther

Some time ago

Children played in playgrounds normally, yet 

Her mind seemed different.

In the night, monsters

Zipped in and 

Out of shadows.

Plunging, inky darkness choked her throat.

Her family didn't know what to do and she felt like she had to 

Run.

Even now, she doubts herself, although in the

Night, there are no more monsters. Only now,

In the day, the monsters

Are misdiagnosis.
