Best Psychosis Poems

“Psychotic hallucinations, whether they are visual or vocal, they address you. They accuse you. They seduce you. They humiliate you.
They jeer at you. You interact with them.”
Oliver Sacks  

This is not an illusive myth,
this is my unspoken tale,
woven in infernal syllables of sorrow,
of how...

Please, God Please, don't let them kill me 
She thought she heard him shout 
His room is locked, the door is blocked
Three days since he's been out 

A million fears he contemplates
Too scared to rest his head
He dare not sleep or close his eyes
Those eyes...

Sharp alien quiet accosts our nuclear fallout,
Twin beds and I between them,
Remnants of faces
Laughter, tears,
Exchanges deadline in future tense,
The decimating absence of marriage
To anything whole--

This uniform hotel room mien
Eats emotional in-betweens
R B G
Symmetrically channeling Western loneliness:
"The hours until midnight are so far away..."

You woke up...

I'm a Poet who's poetic potence 
Is unnoticed 
The beauty of my soul glowing 
While they try to define the notion
An can't get the quotient
Laws of motion
Inside my body is forces
My mind in commotion
From thoughts exploding
Unseen gifts sowed in
Psychic genes in me loaded
A psychosis being...

(parody of the hit song sung by Dean Martin, “That’s Amore”)

When the moon hits your brain like the whoosh of cocaine,
That’s psychosis.
When delusions galore throw good sense out the door,

Eyes will roll (Total load of bull!...

She sits by herself in the dayroom
absent-mindedly taking her meds,
her head is a blank, she knows nothing,
as she's braceleted, brought to her bed.

Sedation has settled her nightmares
and delivered her safe from her fears,
but who are these strangers with clipboards,
where'd she come from, and why is...

Imagine one day everything's fine
Next day you're in a psychward with a completely differen't mind
No one looks at you the same, not worth anyones time

Imagine going from happy and full of life
To trying not to end it, every single night.

Imagine what it's like to forget...

……Somewhere a lone survivor of a plane crash

A man of sound and reason 
   standing tall and proud. 
But a voice of lies and madness 
   whispering words of doubt. 
His mind a fortress sturdy 
   no shadows in...

DISTURBED MINDS

Pete was a handsome young boy, only fifteen years of age,
Had PSYCHOSIS, his reality severely distorted, a mental disorder,
Felt that his brain was contained in a wrought iron cage, 
Knew that ultimately, his life would be harder and shorter!

Pete’s father, was the local village...

i insist on suffocating slowly 
still 
i refuse to die 
imposing my will to weakness 
avoiding applying the “why”

implications are closing in, opressive 
my mind is open, fluid 
suggestive 
interposing meaning and form with 
the spoken and written letter

the light source filtered through all this...

I dove boldly in to my psychosis
this gave me a kind of leverage
a tiny fragment of sanity
shiny bevel of edginess to my personality
so vulnerable, derelict, unloved
my resolution, a thought will blossom
explode in to this dark world
kill all the demons that ride on people’s backs
I see...
