Charles Reese Poet Pantoum

Mental Illness

Do you seem to hear the voices
When there is no one else speaking
Do they ask you to make choices
That will sometimes have you freaking

When there is no one else speaking
Do words still seem to flood your mind
That will sometimes have you freaking
Which makes you seem to some unkind

Do words still seem to flood your mind
That makes your life seem so unfair
Which makes you seem to some unkind
This life you have you cannot share

That makes your life seem so unfair
Because you have this mental pain
This life you have you cannot share
That makes your living seem a bane

Because you have this mental pain
Do they ask you to make choices
That makes your living seem a bane
Do you seem to hear the voices

Sara Kendrick August 17, 2015 at 3:31 PM Enjoyed reading your pantoum..They are not so easy to write..Great topic that you have chosen..Sara Charles Reese August 17, 2015 at 8:49 PM I'm glad you enjoyed it. I find this style easy though as half the poem writes itself. The only hard part is deciding when to end it.
