Schizophrenia

its an illness they consider to be one of the worst,

some go so far as to say you are cursed.

but what if it isnt what we were lead to believe,

what if its spirits and demons,that we cant perceive?

i think its possession that haunts these minds,

entities, evil spirits, and ghosts of all kinds.

they pump you with meds to make sure you are numb,

they dont want there to be a positive outcome.

they want to hide the truth that these things exist,

they will lock you up and lose the key if you try to resist.

its disgusting and cruel for the ones with the gift,

the unfortunate souls with their minds left adrift.
