Sister brother mother dad
This is a point of view of a family member whose mental health was ignored and his voices made him do these unthinkable atrocities to his own family. Real or fictional it can be both
The poem in free verse…….
Sister, brother, mother, dad
I’m standing over here
Something’s a m a t t e r with me
Keep on doing your things
Leave me - be in the s t i n g
I’ll self m e d i c a t e before I fall
Secretly hiding
Killing you all
One by one
Don’t you want some help
Let me know
If the knots are too tight
H e l p me now
Don’t make this hard
Don’t run away
Stay and play
Please me
Take a hit - at me
M i s s y o u so much
Please scream, if you must
I’ll take you away but only when I’m done
Need a shower -
Hide you away
Clean your mess
Before I go away
Speak to my head
All night long
Did that please you
