Schizophrenia (What I Think It Feels Like)

Running away,
Stayng behind. 
Not knowing what, 
Is on my mind.

Not wanting to change
'Cause I think I'll lose
Then wanting to try on 
Someone elses shoes.

I'm feeling serene
I'm feelin' no pain
But now I think
I'm goin' insane.

Surely, this is what Schizophrenia must feel like. I have a nephew with schizoid-effective disorder, but there are some good treatments available now. I think you wrote a very insightful poem! Love, Carolyn
