Psych Poems

The spiritual horror of psychological torture

When the mind slowly decays
It doesn’t just affect the mind 
It affects the body, the spirit, the soul
The spiritual horror of psychological torture 
Is how you treated black people
The way you penetrated our minds with accusations of inferiority
Treating us less than animals
Less than the dirt on your shoes

Generation after generation 
You have tortured my people

Birthday in a psych ward

You spent your birthday in a psych ward
For trying to get out
Now twice, on your record
What is it you’re without?

Left at Rockbottom

I walk into my mom’s room, filled with fear,
As nausea is bubbling in my core.
I say nothing, it’s already clear;
I took a b’ttle of pills just like before.

Tears fall from my eyes and drip from my chin,
As screaming insults fall from my mom’s lips.
She yells, “Get in the car,” and the pr’cess begins.
She cont’nues to

Do You Still Want To Go To the Psych Ward

In the psych ward,
There are people who don't have homes, or parents, or friends.
In the psych ward,
There are patients who have no hope and feel they are worthless.
In the psych ward,
There are people who will threaten you, and scare you, and yell at you.
The psych ward is a place where those who have tried to

Psych Rehab

Nerve chemical is a toxic chemical..
It is colourless and odorless..
It dissolves in water..
It can be delivered in food..
It can be injected to cause plegia..
It causes paraplegia and quadriplegia.
Supari killers use it as silent weapon.
Note.Stay away from Psych Rehab.....

Abandoned

These walls, crumbling through time.
seeing old metal beds, stained mattresses,
broken sinks and toilets, rusted old medical supplies and a vacant morgue.

 I'm walking through a dark place where pain was inflicted, 
on patients to non existing ailments.
Lobotomies, electroshock, meds that these doctors and nurses, 
thought would cure such simple illnesses.

 The flickering florescent lights above

Figment Inside

Wandering around the earth saying you love me? What do you know of love..,
If I thought you knew anything of love I would've stayed..
yes, there beside you in that little house, in that little bed.  
Not just locked away inside that thick head.

(I can't tell her she is only a figment)

Well., easy enough to

Karma

How does it feel to be confined to a bed
Alone in a psych ward with the voices in your head
Your actions done and now you're here
How does it feel to be laying here

The lives you've destroyed but still deny
You don't fool me; An eye for an eye
Karma has a way of coming back around
Now it's

Psych Up

PSYCH UP

Hours of wasted yesterdays
Haphazardly hops in my head
In a ugly pretty fashion
As though it were some minutes past
All my fore-time murderers
In my inner eyes appear
Like it does on chippy screen

Loneliness pulls the trigger
Of the lurking memories
Tick-tacky natural eraser becomes helpless
Dawn frowns and twilight mourns
The demise of their elder brother
Long sitting on the fence
Drenched my

Psych-Up

Jack had to psych up
Just to go hike up
That hill with that Jill
Who was such a pill,
So he felt that tyke up!

Psych

Gazing deep into your somber eyes
trying to get a glimpse within your soul
In the midst of a deep sea of lies,
to capture the truth in you is my goal

And now I'm hiding the pain
when I saw what's inside your heart
as I walk down this empty lane
I realized that we are now torn apart

But I won't

Psych 101

These walls don’t hold up
to the pain placed inside
looking for hope and futures
but the caring and trust collide.

Memories fold at the sight
of the cross with winding snakes
bogged is the mind at rest
where the people are at stake.

Lithium drives home the thought
of how easy it all is
to live out a fantasy of two worlds
in which one
