Mental Injury Is Not Mental Illness Essential To Know

14 years confused on a pitch without the goals 
never knowing how I fell through so many holes 
as each I fell through another would unfold 
the brain just couldn't process storing in the vault
to later analyse and process the result 
but storage overflowed and the circuit cut short 
a breakdown stopped their process postponing the report 
the brain was overwhelmed from continuous assault 
it's called a mental breakdown retreat from the revolt
rebooting only vital zones and limiting your thoughts 
thanks to overwhelming stress continuous and cold 
flight or fight for too long sees hormones flood the skull 
changing how the mind works and the person on the whole 
misdiagnosed depression through symptoms it unrolls 
but rain floods are not a sea these hormones will dissolve 
psychiatric injury doesn't stay until you're old 
it's not a mental illness that doctor can't solve 
injuries repair themselves, a bruise a scar a hole 
people caused your pain, don't let them be involved

Indigo

Through research I have found
don't conclude that I'm not sound
I made a mistake though Scandinavian
I'm not a Pleiadian
I'm actually an Indigo
it's a flawless fit cameo
I'm rebellious and have always been
I don't conform to society outwardly or within
I wear things people wouldn't wear
if they don't accept it I don't care
the confusion came from my ancestry
but I have found that's not the key
They've also said they're misdiagnosed
and that's true with me tis superimposed
as I burn this clove
hence a timid dove
at times our upbringing causes doubt
now that will be absent and without
I'm glad I have found myself
and what I've embraced to be oneself

Premium Member Art G's Golden Years

Remember that singer, Art Garfunkel
He developed a painful carbuncle
   Got down on his knees
   Said, 'Don't lance it, please'
The mere thought of blood makes me cry 'Uncle'

Of course, old Art's lost most of his hair
Back in the day, he sure had lots up there
   But once he got old
   He had this bad cold
Misdiagnosed ~ His doc shaved his head bare

THE WINTER CEMETERY 

Awaken my nightmare!
Cold, wrinkled skin, eye circles beyond care.
Tears of beautiful snow.
O depths to which they go!
A horse and carriage show.
The gate — a cliff of iron bars, mine heir.

The creak of springs, the box —
ornate, carries my frozen heart, on blocks
of ice — my pretty niece.
Oh shroud of snow, I cease
to live - i have no peace!
O that cancerous gong of Winter clocks!

Wrapped in woolen fetters,
I boldly stare at these money-getters.
The doc misdiagnosed,
and the nurse overdosed.
In an icebox — her ghost.
This cemetery shivers with debtors.

She’ll be buried next to
you, beloved son, youth taken by flu.
I lean on the hard chest.
Winter blooms on my breast.
Dear son, I’ll never rest!
Cold stones, for bounty, as my flames accrue.

Premium Member The School of What's Next

Though I don't feel that driven OR misdiagnosed,
Still so many past goals, I find lacking in passion,
Though dragons line up (fancy St. George as toast),
When the battle gets done, it seems flames out of fashion.

I can’t say why the letdown, post finishing quest,
You would think celebration might now be in order,
Drink beer, put my feet up, at least have a rest,
But I put on my hat, saddle muse, seek new border.

Oh, 'The School of What’s Next' is both 'life' and what 'chills,'
For I frequently find I’ve more questions than answers,
But gist of its leading still manages thrills
(As its leaps and twists, voice poetry of lithe dancers).

Trusting Grace is 'sufficient,' is prayer’s simple text,
His provision, my faith; my desire just to serve Him,
To bask in His presence, with praise for 'what’s next,'
Harmonize with creation in eternal Love hymn.

Words Forbidden To Be Expressed

Words forbidden to be expressed
A dangerous fact to be disclosed
Making the whole world depressed
I am sorry that you are so obsessed
With the words never to be expressed
The words are secretly decomposed
Scattered around after being recomposed
Spread like bean paste after being compressed
Taste like sweet chilli that’s been reprocessed
Eaten by idiots who are systematised
The paste lost its nature but it’s flavour is militarised
For the nations, hatred was perfectly modernised
Effectively fighting in the war that was standardised
Such usable propaganda must be fully released
Please sleep on people and be hospitalised
Don’t worry, you will soon be desensitised

Words forbidden to be expressed
A dangerous fact to be disclosed 
Making the universe so confused

Wake up, ladies who were hypnotized
Come out, gentlemen who were fictionalised
From where you were unfortunately misdiagnosed
Where “I love you” is forbidden to be expressed

Unforgiven

Themes are overlapping
                           The current keeps criss crossing
Dreaming and digressing depressing and unkind
Mish mash meandering in a labyrinth of minds
Wonder lost.....fingers crossed....

Misdiagnosed and so stupidly maintained
Disjointed mistake.....
Contorted remorse
No kingdom no horse
Replaying the scene
                    Rehearsing the song ... unmended
Keep doing wrong
How do I check my tongue?
Why does it always come out wrong?
 
              Ill get forgiven - of course
And then I transcend it - much worse
Imprinted my thinking - not right
I keep on repeating .... my plight
Until I get along, its best I walk alone
How to undo this old refrain
Your spirit I fractured - time and again

Premium Member My Final Destination

pain misdiagnosed for three years

encouraging prognoses based on lies 

wish I could return to more carefree days

but now I know neuropathy has my life on the line

pain subsides as numbness sets in

in time I’ll feel nothing at all

but the bliss of eternal life

when my autonomic nervous system shuts down

no fear, no tears

just expectation

reuniting with loved ones who passed

sharing love that never dies

in the spirit world

my final destination

Misdiagnosed and Overdrugged

Every aspect of life has become political,
A trip to the Doctor can become critical,
because who you are in life never gets left behind,
If folks don't like you, they will treat you unkindly,
They will conveniently forget about the Hippocratic Oath,
and change their white coats for a cloak fron the coven,
slowly misdiagnosing and treating with hidden poisons,
No one is wiser and no one cares, especially if one has money
you will never get sympathizing stares,
They will continue to misdiagnose, overdrug and underdrug,
retribution for not sharing "the spoils",
They won't stop, unless the treated turn into thugs,
They cleverly hope their victims will rot away or have an untimely demise,
actions that are untraceable, makes the risk twice as nice.

Dieing In Style

The silence is beckoning from the center of a deafening room. 
sound giving silence meaning understood by the expulsion of those who are doomed. 
 
the irritable laughter, rumors and whispers and lies. 
the deception draws near me with sophisticated intelligent guise. 
 
the words that flow from tongue to ear are like fuses to semtex in the brain. 
an explosion so great that only a few who understand the awakening can explain. 
 
 the sorrow and emptiness misguided laughter and pain. 
misunderstood, misdiagnosed overwhelmed by the hatred and blame 
 
the prideful transgression that they refuse to claim 
will be their demise that will bring them to flames. 
 
the denial of truth and the bold display of pride 
exudes ones emptiness and vacancy inside 
 
though the act of denial is successive in all manners of flesh 
the acceptance of truth and repentance is ones ultimate test. 
 
so pick up your cross and walk your green mile 
cause dieing like jesus is dieing in style!

Dichotomy

I could not tell the two of you apart.
 even when i tried to squint you just
 grew narrower

 and these words are slender stalks in a field 
seamless yet sperate, unrhyming yet punctuated. 

 i remember sitting in the kitchen with poor
 posture misspelling the word absence.

you collected a few of the absract moments 
to form are binary convoluted past personages.

 who spoke in the third person and misdiagnosed
 the moments before leaving only shades of 
gray pathologies for us to follow.
 
niether light nor dark.

  i tried to gather a little from the two of you
 to trace an opinioned outline of you on 
some paper, but the opinions fell down.

  so i used instead a magnet off of your refrigerator. 

you said something like..... what are you doing
 or i think im thirsty.

 a half empty half full glass sits on the
 counter across the room.
