Madness

Mental illness makes my Mind spin out of control. Many voices clamor, Make demands and threaten. Medication numbs me. Meandering through a Maze of thoughts, I am lost. 4/19/2017

good one for the contest, agnes, good natural sound to this, which is often lacking in pleiades as they can sound like seven stand-alone lines if not careful...and i can relate, as i have lived with mental illness most of my life...did i see somewhere you hoped for some critique? if so, rather than actually naming mental illness in that first line, i'd just plunge the reader into how it FEELS

I'm too slow... I have been thinking about how to take up your suggestion, and the contest was judged in the mean time... But I will keep it in mind for the next poem :)

Thank you, Charlotte, for visit, comment and suggestion. I am so sorry you have to live with mental illness. Yes, I do welcome critique (because - as nice as it feels - being patted on the back does not make me a better poet.) That's a good idea, have to think of something. Thanks, and have a lovely day.
