This was beautifully written not only for your skill in writing poetry, but also for your grasp of the subject matter. The last 2 lines shows are an astute observation. Well done.

Thank you for reading my poem. I'm afraid I have more knowledge about this then I want...we've been living with this for years. Thanks again for reading.
Comment from Wendy G
What an accurate, but sad picture of schizophrenia, and this insight helps us to feel compassion and understanding of those who must live with this illness. Thank you for sharing. Very well written.

Thank you for reading. My son lives it everyday, as does his family. I appreciate your comments.
Comment from Mary Vigasin
Well done in capturing the pain of mental illness. I wrote story of this about my uncle in Bill's Buttons when they used shock treatments as a "cure."
This captures the torture of the sufferer in well written rhyme.
You let your reader in on this tortured soul's mind.
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for reading my poem. My son has been living this everyday since he turned 18...it's been a journey.
Comment from Robert D Buechner
Spectacular poem. Very dark, and for someone who's suffered for years with mental health issues (though, not schizophrenia, per se), this one hits close to home. Great job.
Good luck in your contest.
