Edmund Strempfl Poet Rhyme

Mental Illness

MENTAL ILLNESS
Darker clouds appear more so near,
spirit sympathy and mind in empathy ponder,
thoughts a haze of past future days,
a mental candle aura, flickers 'n' wilts in wonder.

This shadowy sickness,
creep 'n' seep,
seeking capture, no rest nor sleep,
until it claims it's mentory.

Tick clock a sick daze in time,
a senseless silent song, having no rhyme,
misperceptions giving directions,
trapped in a cryptic mindful maze,
thoughts in different mindful waves and ways.

Where now tomorrow,
how what to follow,
battling a hidden sickness,
Mental Illness
