Best Schizophrenia Poems

"Doctor!
Doctor!
How is he?"

"Quite terrible, Miss.
He will not survive the night,
Probably not even the hour."

"What does he have?
Terminal cancer?
Pneumonia?
Cardiac Arrest?"

"No.
It is worse then all of those.
Even combined."

"Oh no! 
Can I see him?

"I imagine you can, Miss.
But that's the problem.
I'm afraid I can't treat him
Since I can't--"

"Doctor!...

Good Morning
My old friend
Nice waking up to see you again
Still doing ok?
Cause I am doing fine
Except for these thoughts,dreams and pains of mine

Do not worry over me
I will make it through
Just if you please could stop showing up out of the blue
Scaring me half to...

In the still of the dark.
Lying dead awake,
Sleep gives no escape.
Repeating and counting phrases,
is a mental drain,
like chasing a run-away train.
Anxiously anticipating,
meeting the Minotaur who in his
labyrinth is awaiting.
As time passes in this state,
silence can't be found,
confusion and chaos race around.
Days may pass in this...

At first you're in a cloud. But you're not high.
The pills have sucked your dopamine dry.

Most times, you just don't want to try.
Honestly,  most times you want to die.

Cast out from society 
Split from their reality. 

To you, the so called crazy one.
You see...

The story, sad.
The man, sad.
The wife sad,
The children, sad.
The diagnosis, paranoia schizophrenia.
 
It happened to the man when he was twenty-nine.
He had a sweet family, everything going fine.
But then this threw him out of whack.
He never got his family back.
 
His young wife had no...

A whole house aired with dust
and dark twilight at every hour,
there was a mountain— tall as rust
that made me feel a coward.

There were cans and cans on
tiled floor? More dust and dirt 
on towels. As a child, I clutched my teddy
bear, while inside I lost
some...

Strange dreams blend with reality. A true
Compliments toward rejection. 
Haunted by
Irrational voices;
Zoomed.
Outrageously tortured. Presents
Paranoid delusions, as well as
Hallucinations. Then, consciousness;
Run, seceded. Became
Extremely dried. So
Noticeable and rapid. 
Ironic, yet dramatic.
A pure self-imposed isolation.

People wonder
How “professed” Christians
Do the things they do
Say the things they say
Write the things they write
It’s not RIGHT!
True! We have to “walk the talk”
But perfection is not attainable
Holiness is misunderstood
There is no state of sinlessness

Holiness connotes wholeness
Being wholly for someone
Belonging to Someone
Having the heart and...

Her 'Verses on Schizophrenia' was written
        while both of us were immersed in Gauguin's


       yellow ocher smudging the eves in Tahiti
       on a bankrupted canvas throbbing...

The often hurt of being her
Is sometimes more  than she can bear;
It shuts its ears to voices that
Attempt to sound out care.

It blinds its eyes to other eyes
That try to see past such;
And yet it drops defenses
When it sees and hears a touch....

How can I help her when she doesn't want help?
She's content with living this way
No one can help her, not even herself
Her mind is her enemy but maybe not today
Paranoid Schizophrenia, I can't imagine how it feels
Trusting no one but yourself and your kids can...

Memories
 become sand full of hourglasses. 
One thousand snowflakes are one thousand dead cats in the Hudson River.
 Memories hurt. 
They are Michael Schofield broken out of prison. 
Prison is the look on your father’s face. 
We had the same face. I used to remember...

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...

Violent, pure, and a mess,
Darkness roars in the presence of night.
A candle with a flame; a seer of light,
Awakens to the highest of heights, 
Arises from a state of sleep,
Arises from a prison; a trap;
A thief of time that you will never get back, 
A...
