"Voices in Her Head"
She hears them,
And she always has said,
"They whisper when they're mad,
and they scream when they are just barely there.
They hurt my thoughts,
and destroy my brain."
This poor girl lies awake at night,
As she wonders to herself,
"Are schizophrenics messengers of God?
Is there even a God?
I'm doubting myself,
The only person I know I can trust.
At least,
I thought I knew.
Now maybe I am just insane."
She goes about day to day,
Acts like everything is fine,
But the voices linger there,
Even controlled by medicine.
She still has stress,
She still has fear,
She still has anxiety,
She still has schizophrenia.

A dozen times a day he listens to a dial tone
Before punching in a number by rote
To
SOLITUDE.
You know nothing
of Schizophrenia,
They all start asking,
"What's got into ya";
and you wonder-
what's wrong with

Plunging headlong into your catatonic state
our relationship and future, compromised by fate
I watch you sitting, in a world
