Short Psychiatric Poems

My friend Al had a case of depression
Spent hours in psychiatric sessions
   His soul he laid bare
   The shrink didn't care
He billed even more for regression...

If it is not you and it is not me 

It's likely a corporate entity

It lurks beneath your families skin

A psychiatric ward within ...

My poetry has lent
more emotional benefit
than any psychiatric intent.

I bled on blank pages
during all my ages,
recording heart stages.

Paper is the mirror
showing me clearer
as therapy overseer.

The pen screams sounds,
that sets the mood.
The hand goes down,
and starts to move.
My mind begins to empty out,
what it feels my soul must shout.
The readers eyes begin to see,
the feelings held inside of me.
Doctors cost the pen is free,
and meets my psychiatric need......

a message today
in code
shaky voice
can't tell if she's sober
telling me shes
in her counselors office
which leads me to wonder
if its
jail
hospital
rehab
psychiatric hospital

where are you today?
three almost four weeks
without word
mothers agony mocks 
a scream of silence
unbearable 
not to know
unable to hear

hanging my head
waiting...

 springing az the stressed

   sights uv street signs 
      sounds uv sirens

   straight jacket strong 



*though i fit the alliteration'z title
here to suit mine eccentric(artistic license),
i'll mention: psyhcogenic movement iz a rare 
neurologic disease characterized by the 
manifestation of an underlying psychiatric 
illness.

I come in peace ...
Me not like movie “Alien”
I not born in a pod,
Me be no Gen. Zod
My spaceship no scout
for any Death Star squad
I come from afar ...
Me seek intelligent life
Crash landed on Earth,
lost all proof of ill-fated flight
Your human generosity
has brightened up my dark plight
Thanks for the “Get Well Soon” card,
received from your psychiatric nurse wife...

When the devil comes
For you
He will be in disguise
To take you by surprise
And free you from
God’s defenses
Trick the trust
You have in your senses
The devil he cheats
Wins your trust by deceit

Rachel Marchand
I need you to understand
When i come for revenge
The only question you need comprehend
Is whether I will give to you
What you did not give to me

The opportunity to fight back

My poor old body is sagging,
My arthritic feet are dragging
My skin is dry, and my mouth
What has not gone west
It has now gone south
My memory is fading fast
I think I am living in the past,
The past is where I feel secure
I no longer feel security here.
When I think I'm going mad
I tell myself that won't be bad
Because in a psychiatric hospital,
There would be,
Hoards of people, just like me....

You wake up inside a psychiatric ward
But you know your not crazy 
People shout at you
you wished they were a part of your schizo

A memento of the past
Was just a fragment of joy
Delusions of happiness...
Plays a skulduggery to the mind

In the darkest hour when insomnia strikes 
When migraine burns your inner most thoughts
You think of the world and all it's vanity
And you ask yourself "Where is sanity?"...

I have a contest, up its all about reality in three different
Places where people (who are not fresh out of psychiatric 
Care ) are living their lives; doing their thing' Patrick King
For one making a great impact in Alberta' so it can be done

Not one entrant as yet.' But I won't write the souper group

Specially the Ameri--cans' I'm sure they could come up
With something.?...
