Schizophrenia and the Mind

Being schizophrenic
is confusing.
I question everything
while hallucinations, voices, paranoia and 
delusions make up most of my day.
A vast portion of my brain has 
completely left me
while the other half is trying to come 
through and speak out.
As the illness spreads it contaminates my brain
In making me think that someone is there even though there not.
That people are following me, or exploiting me.
Whatever it is
it will never stop.
So whatever my brain decides to do
I am completely left out.
