With both a fever and a chill
But I will find rest

Mentally Ill
Screams upon screams
Noise upon noise
Can't sleep again
These are the joys
Fancy a break?
Just take a pill
I'll probably work
lol Mentally Ill...

Down
Why do you do this 
Why do you care

You tell me to leave 
You then tell me you still care

I'm mentally ill
I'm mentally down

Your driving me under
Your driving me to Hell...

Old Friends
Turning leaves
Winds blowing
I can see how you heave
When your eyes arent showing
Go Home I said
She doesnt move
But I said to my angels
-Make her go away-
And now she is true....

Only One Arm
Unstable sense of self/
I want to evaporate and not be here.

I wish the part of me not mentally ill
Would make me well.
But he has a hard time too.

I’d rather have only one arm....

Premium Member Capitol Offense
The White House is on a great lot
It's Washington's drive to it spot
But guards only train
That terror's to contain
So mentally ill there get shot


Author's note:  The new treatment for postpartum depression is now a firing squad....

Martyr Me Master
martyr me master

Gypsy was a tormented soul
prisoner of the beast below
in haste she X'd a sacred scroll
the flame who traps in hollow light
rose from doom now we assume
less pain = more delight
so you see it's the thieves
who medicate stealing the lives
as they try to kill
me the mentally ill...

Premium Member The Gun and God Combo
"The peacemaker" is Glock's new gun
Its spent rounds are rapture and fun
Yes killing's a thrill
Since I'm mentally ill 
And need to own more than just one

A gun for me is like prozac
The bullets clipped pills in a stack
I'm not paranoid
But have weapons deployed
In case I should have an attack...

Nature of An Illness
Depressed as if dead
What my brain said!

Just don't lay around
Without making a sound

Seems weird what the mind can conceive
Still a Christian I believe!

Still have to take at least a pill
But being mentally ill may be God's will

Might be weaker if without
Being strong is what life's about!...

Savages
Mentally ill chosen by a few cowards they struck;
Against fundamentals of mankind and society.

Jehad against Allah's doctrine in self destruct role;
Seek a place in heaven with innocent blood on hand?

Living in hell these cowards await final judgment,
For Allah's wrath is infinite, punishment divine:- 

"Soundless and endless."...

A Sleeping Giant
Eyelids heavy with sleep
I suffer in silence so deep
Mentally ill, be quiet and still
Depressed and anxious at will 

The circadian rhythm disrupted
My health surely corrupted
The economy they blame 
Illness and politics the same

Take-over bids abound
Power struggles all around
Capturing bodies and souls
The voters barely know their roles...

Freedom Finally
Freedom from betrayal readers is rewarding,
Blogs have been changed to certain readers,
I have freedom from lack of loyalty
Lack of trust
And most certainly mentally ill stalkers who 
Cut themselves
drunks
hookers
suicidal
rubbing in an abortion to keep a man trapped
Sites that betray me
I have freedom from their eyes
and given to an email list of thousands from forums:)...

Our So Called Government
Doesn't make much sense, does it ???
Homeless go without eating and shelters.
Elderly go without needed medicines.
Mentally ill go without treatment.
Troops go to defend without proper equipment.
Veterans who gave our freedom go without
Benefits that were promised to them.
Yet our government donate billions to
Other countries, and excessive immigration
Before helping our own first....

Paodophilic Cult Weekend
Here they come,
In their finery,
Wishing I was the Devil,
Theyabuse me and vanish.

This weekend I have invited watchers,
So they can see,
How they keep me in need,
How they win my trust,
For the day.....

Everything is fine and dandy 
in their makebelieve world,
What a hold they had over me,
NowI'm registered mentally ill,
So they still have power over me.

But I know and watch for a time when all the actors have died....

Proud To Be Mentally Ill
Proud to be absolutely crazy
Proud to be absolutely mad
Proud to be an outlaw in society
Psychotic symptoms
An absolute maniac to society
Police are looking for you
Don’t know who you are
Get a job mate
I have a job
To see things you don’t see
To determine things you will never see
To destroy and capitalize the world
I am not Hitler
I am the new generation of madness
Remember you cannot match this awe
The awe of the psycho
Absolute Madness!...

Two Bits Short of a Quarter
Ain't got no money problems...
Ain't got no bills to pay
Ain't got no budgets to follow...
Bill collectors can go on their way...

Mail is used to start the fireplace...
Which I do not own...
And I sold my wallet for two bits
To someone on the phone

Which is odd, I guess,
Cause service long cut off
And my wallet made of loose-leaf
So it's very, very soft

Did I take my psych meds?
Did I take my pill?
Cause they say, if not...
I'll become really mentally ill....

Premium Member Not the Man
Beneath the surface of you and me, there’s
nothing that the eye can see, and though
I have your DNA, this is 
my reality: You bring
to mind a sunless day
shadowed gray and sad.
Not the man Mom
first met, you
are my
dad.

(Posted 2/10/2010. This was featured by Soup but never entered in any contest. Of course my dad will never see this!  He is mentally ill and can't help how he is. Thankfully my mom started a better life for me and her other daughters when we were very young)...

Don'T Judge a Book By Its Cover
Many people think that every mentally ill person is dangerous but that's not true.
If you were mentally ill, you wouldn't want people to think that about you.
Don't judge a book by its cover, it's not fair to the mentally ill.
Just because a person has schizophrenia or bipolar disease, it doesn't mean 
that he or she will kill.
The next time you meet a mentally ill person, please don't be scared.
Treat us like you would treat anyone else, it's not right to judge the mentally 
impaired....
