Schizophrenia

I make sure

To write everything he says

Because hes my only friend

But just to made sure I wont forget

He suggested

I'll write on my flesh

Everything he says

 

So sometimes

When I feel alone 

And he wont answer me

I look at all the words

He told me

'You're beautiful'

I know I am

'Who needs her any way?'

I know I don't

'Kill the neighbor'

I remember his pleads..

But now I'm happy again

Because I can make my only friend

Happy once more

By inflicting the pain

By curving the words

 

I curved the last request

Of the friend in my head

On the last piece of flesh

That was empty

It fit in perfectly

Becasue I was happy

To make my only friend

Smile again

So I took the hook

And slit my throat

And said goodbye

To the voice who was

My entire world

But we all love dark

This was more about my grandma. I was tasked with helping re-send her tax reduction files due to various reasons, health problems being one of them. So I've discovered she suffers from Schizophrenia, and tried to imagine how its like. 

Thanks for the care and critisism nontheless.

There is only one friendWho

There is only one friend

Who can heal every wound,

He lies under the pain,

Of one's darkness and gloom,

He is forthright and fair,

And all hurdles he'll jump,

If only he could see past his personal dump,

The mirror is fogged with his personal junk.

 

Shit happens.


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Dang! You've been going super

Dang! You've been going super dark lately. I hope you don't really cut yourself. This write awakened my little fearful friend that lives inside me.
