Audio hallucinations, voices not angelic, they're atrocious and scathing. No one else hears whispering every now and then: Did you hear that? Going mad a big fear; her visceral crazy dreams are becoming unclear. Entertains, never complains of painful futile pursuit. Panic stricken, blames other. Less what’s prescribed—dizzy, a soundproof booth she describes and it, a bother. Outerspace, underground, heavens above, always hate! Where is love? Reality vanishes, she comes undone—swears she hears something, someone. Denials rest her mind; amassing piles of illusions and lies combined. Experiments; government, bad karma! Conscience, angel or demon? Too much. Mental illness? She is functioning and keeps it together. She’s in touch. O God, a curse, be strong, in this damned world others suffering's much worse. Nevertheless tries her best, she sleeps with one eye open, frightened. —a healthy mind, a soul quest.

I really loved this one Anaya, I can tell we’ve had some similar experiences and understanding of them in this. Really great expression, well done.

Thank you, Joseph! Angel or Demon is something most can relate to, and if Lady Labyrinth says we are in excellent company, then I'm all in! Be well

Thank you for your visit Harry, you are welcome to any oldie of mine and thank you for sharing yourself. It's a diagnosis so many share, I care what happens and will make this one an on-going work in progress. Viva la poesía!

Makes for an excellent beatnik, introspective poetry. I really enjoyed this Anaya, one to be remembered. Robert

A Bohemian, beat, jazz rhythm... I thought so myself, I am grateful to you Robert for putting it into perspective. Thank you for your thoughts! Anaya

I am so grateful to have found a place and a kindred spirit with whom to commiserate. You are too kind Lady Labyrinth. Besides "Pans Labyrinth" you are a favorite Labyrinth!
