Ulimmachukwu Osele Poet Elegiac Lyric

Schizophrenia

I live in my mind      
So deafening is the sound 
The constant beating of my heart like it is trying to keep me aware 
I live in my thoughts constantly trying to figure myself out 
Like a puzzle never solved 
I keep on scrabbling the pieces trying to put them together 
I have opened all the doors in my mind constantly searching 
The most beautiful feeling 
The feeling of being covered with clouds 
The screams,the yells 
I am exhausted 
Constantly running 
I can see my reflection in all the stares I get 
Am I that transparent?
Staring at the green plant Withering away 
The beat of my heart slowing  down 
I am not aware 
I wither with my thought
