out of the shadows
in the depths you left me
without a voice
as I lie internally screaming
with nowhere to loose it
my pain became rage
turned inward
I lashed out at myself cruelly
with words that bite & cut
"you're delusional
the doctors are right
you're insane"
all the while
the voices mocked
"look at these quacks
as they sleep walk"
I used to wonder why me
with pleas oh god let them see
the world as it really is
behind the veil
controlled by the powers that be
people have an illusion of freedom
it isn't real
there are entities who pull the strings
humanity their puppets
the spirits utter the words
& the world just sings along
when will they awaken
with the realization
there is no diagnosis
or magic pill
can quiet the voices
they fear
no medicine is needed
for we are seers
visionary souls
who feel the rhythm of the universe
with poetry running through my veins
I release this energy
into the ether
may it touch others in torment
so they would find peace
in the shadows
they have been forced to reside

thank you dearest Crim
sorry you too were so callously labeled
by the psychiatric society
we are indeed unique & I am learning
to see this as a gift..
I hope one day you will too..

The world is a messed up place. I wish people would see mental disorders as bad as any sickness. Something that deserves understanding and care.
Wonderful write 😁

thank you dearest poet I feel doctors as well should be held accountable to not be so quick to give a label to something they truly don't understand.. the universe is a mysterious place with things logic can't explain away..
I deeply appreciate you presence on my pages..

Well if the spotlight shimmered any brighter as to lead me your way, loved the truisms and Stark reality exposed here to a condition even professionals in the field can't really understand despite all the schooling. I appreciate(even thou I was just forcefully nested for 96hrs)the artistic expressionism as I surely didn't get such and stuck myself by it ATM

thank you dearest poet so happy to have crossed paths with you.. yes it is reality as I know it.. I struggle with the diagnosis they have labeled me with as I think there are greater things they have no understanding of.. I deeply appreciate your thoughts & visit to my pages..

Awareness comes first before acceptance and knowing that it is what it is, is somewhat less threathening.
Thank you for this Raven..

Many head doctors I've encountered, are in need of doctoring themselves or just new heads.
Nice insightful write, Raven.

Raven please forgive my tardiness...these words I am sure will resonate with many who read and keep quieted with their comments...they will indeed comfort others in knowing they are not alone but special creatures made by the Fates to shower others with the gift of knowledge, tolerance and understanding.

Re. out of the shadows
as in the last stanza prayer....you do touch others...your worlds are healing ..the labels applied by the rulers in this world are but mental stalls for cattle to run into and are meaningless illusions..but we know the truth in the underground..here you can be a crazy as you want!...fuck the labelmakers..never stop professing-Jeff
