mental illness
-
It is calling me each and every day It calls me at night hard to keep it at bay When I am low and in need it is by my side Waiting to pounce when I lose my stride It stalks me in my darkest hour It grows taller and taller every time I cower
-
Darkness descending impending self doubt I scream and I shout but it won’t let out Run but can’t hide from my mind Bide for time payback is in kind Running in circles frantic finds Memories locked semantic rewinds Bed sheet skies whispering lies Daily retries weakening goodbyes
-
Sleep an elusive bedfellow It is stalking me at sunrise These haunting shadows of despair Chanting hymns of desperation A cacophony of frantic cries Drowning all hope and aspiration
-
Sanctimonious stigma sickness is screwing me Mental awareness illness in a field of sheep Car alarms radio bleeps phone staring shuffling Sorrow filled blissful ignorance cheap tricks Broken arm quick fix scrapheap mental condition Monetary decision dream escape visions Hearts locked in the recovery position I never thought I’d be locked in this mental prison
