Schizophrenic
Schizophrenic
Darkness floods a broken mind
Screaming out for calmness to find
Sanity drowns in torrential tears
Crowded in loneliness that no one hears
With open mouth words haunt the air
Medication needed ,but to dark to care.
Menacing shadows breed violence assured
As notice is taken of the voices heard
Changes are rife with character sway
Always forgotten some would say.
Two people present but one body and soul
One taken over by madness so cold
Unreasonable words drip rashly from tongue
Actions and gestures alarmingly strong
Care arrives to calm and console
Medication induced for rest and resolve
Effectiveness swift as chaos retreats
As darkness and anger take a back seat
A tormented mind rests once more
For exactly how long we are never so sure.
