schizo
you are the soft earth after it rains
arousing my senses making me feel safe
rooted to the ground...limbs to the sky
I'm breaking but you hold me here--
in this memory when we were kids climbing trees
summertime innocence is sacred
before plates hit the wall
shattering against fits of madness
you never saw it coming
this schizo nightmare
little brenda I keep you hidden
amongst the library books
musty...smelling of freedom
go through the wardrobe and enter Narnia
Mr. Tumnus will be serving tea
take your little girl hopes there
Judy Bloom knows the way
books magical...escape routes
forever locked in my insanity
tumbling into delusions
endless pills to cement me to the wall
where I stay stuck...demons fade
so does my imagination
drool...trapped in this state of nothingness
I hear you from time to time...brenda
stirring in the diary of my childhood
forever dreaming of the future
perhaps there will be a happy ending still
freefall through paranoia's trap door
I won't let the demons get you
they've come close I won't let them have you
the part of me who remains pure
brenda...vulnerable always beautiful in her flowering youth
write yourself a new story
by all means feature schizophrenia
write a book...they're waiting...

That inner child will remain...let her out once in a while, for we need to feel that sense of freedom with a whole world of opportunities awaiting to be had

We have to nurture our inner child. Nobody else can do it. And they're so deceptively strong...they made it through childhood but they're so often holding it all together with string & flower petals...or the pages of books...our escape route. Give that little girl a hug for me. I love you...

i read this spill on a day where i have been hallucinating way too often
and i don't know why..........
i still believe my schizophrenia protects me from much of the world and people who i do not understand
You make this sound more pretty than i ever could describe
and from a gentle heart and kindness and innocence of the child within
**Hugs** Beautiful Sister

we all have that inner child yet the world we live in would rather we kept that child hidden, I say no sometimes that inner child is what keeps us sane keeps us from going crazy allows us to be free for even a split second and remember who we really are.
