Another day has passed by - Still alone wondering why.

Reminiscing those childhood dreams. Funny how fast things change.

Very Rambunctious and wild. You couldn't separate me from my smile.

Life was all fun and games. Climbing trees - playing in the rain.

Unfortunately my story is about to get strange -

My dreams turned nightmare , Never again would life be the same.

Persecuted from the start, And destined most unlikely to succeed.

I fared forth in high hopes, Persevering against all odds;

I took on the world and challenged the GODS.

Somewhere along the way I hit a wall, Too massive to break through,

Unable to climb ; Much to tall.

So I began digging . "there must be another way!",

Further and further I dug. Barring myself along the way.

Isolated and frightened, feeling betrayed,

The world seemed so cold and empty - Alone again still wondering why.

"Will someone please help me?" I repeated, Over and over again.

Then came the answers - But it wasn't from any Man.

Because Im still alone here and wondering why...

Then it occurred - Am I ?

The voices must have manifest from somewhere - Surely not from my head.

Perplexed and baffled. I was convinced it was coming from the dead.

Longing for explanations to this state of mental health.

Becoming Unstable and angry - I reached out for help.

I went to a doctor , A diagnosis was given; "borderline schizophrenic,"They called it - And I was the victim.

"How was this possible?" I asked, I have always been so sane.

"Its not your fault!" he said, "Its a chemical imbalance within your brain."

Now I'm back to lucid dreaming, The demons were just in my mind.

As long as I take My antidote, I'll be just fine...

I really enjoy reading your writings.  I know all to well how it is to reach out for someone to help and know there is nothing there, and no one to even take the time to understand.  Funny how the voices one hears become their friends...

I enjoyed this John my son has Schizophrenia and his girlfriend of  4 yrs has Bi polar and schizophrenia, they are both the sweetest , gentlest souls you could ever meet, why do the nice people have to be affiliated with a disease from the depths of hell?
