Mental illness is such a taboo subject because it is so misunderstood and untreatable. People are medicated sometimes beyond stability and normality. I have witnessed loved ones struggle for so long with this evil disease that it saddens me to watch them constantly battle.
Inside I scream but no one listens
to mental ache attached to my brain.
Darkness prevails as daylight glistens
and my existence gradually wane.
Thought is distorted from right to wrong
unclear of direction up or down.
Not really sure of where I belong
so alone in my sorrows I drown.
I can’t remember when I last ate
or when I last took a warm shower.
Sleepless days and nights I really hate
feeling content is out of my power.
When will someone know that I am here
a person with a shadowing pain.
Sometimes I wish I could disappear
and not labeled as being insane…
