mental illness poem
-
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
