Poetry is my outlet. A few are my experiences of psychosis caused by Paranoid Schizophrenia. For many years it was my only form of communication.
Is my smile wide enough?
Can it impress my personality onto you
Even though it may be suppressed
...
To plan is such a rough guideline
Time and possibility will batter the flow
I betroth to the uncertain signs
That will steer me onto the crow
...
My vocal chords are raw
As I called for you in song
The weakened voice my flaw
Perhaps all along I was wrong
...
My tombstone and yours
Now becomes virtual
Offerings of reflection
...
They reside in the corners
Form of a man black with a grey residue
They seem to watch and gather Intel
That's my only assumption
...
