Confessions of A Schizophrenic
I step into this poem with a premonition -
I will let the world know who I am.
What shall I find beyond the fog of uncertainty?
What have I failed to recognize in this life?
Well, this is not a life; this is not a dream.
How porous is the wall
that divides my mind?
That divides reality from dreams.
Oh, but the dream world allows me to feel
what I thought was never real.
In this world, I feel peace and serenity
and all my characters welcome me
with open arms and a thank you
for the noble heart ...

Dreamt is Dreaming
A Shard of Doubt (the Upside Down)
Right side up, and upside down
I am the sentinel of grief
And yet enshrined in doctor’s crown
I offer fractured minds relief
I have so much in common with
The patients that I daily see
I am the harbinger of woe
And those I love, I life to grieve
Yet still the pain and joy I treat
The disassociation toward
Each loss, vessel of begot relief
I am never called to board
No stimulant nor elixir
Nor psychedelic long may part
My mind from what I have endured ...

Hello DUP,
I have an issue you see?
I have poems show up on my feed,
No way of knowing the tags before I read,
Unless I were to go all the way to the poet's page,
And that fills me with a sense of rage,
I am sex averse/repulsed, and have PTSD too,
This isn't just a bunch of hullabaloo,
Meaning I go from hating reading about/seeing sex/overly sexual things,
To hating reading about/seeing sex/overly sexual things,
And am also reminded of times
As a child and young teen sometimes,
When that kind of stuff would pop up on my...

The Things I Miss
There are plenty of things that I miss
Plenty that I look back upon with simple bliss
I never knew how simple it could be
To lose all semblance of reality
-Sitting with the stars every night
-Seeing my own Sky perform it's ritual for only me
-Listening to the world revolve for me
-Thinking my universe intersects with yours
-Seeing the clouds that pass on by
-Breathing with the stars that are plastered on my ceiling
-Understanding my place when I look up
-Knowing my significance
-Seeing that which others miss
The sky...
Plenty that I look back upon with simple bliss
I never knew how simple it could be
To lose all semblance of reality
-Sitting with the stars every night
-Seeing my own Sky perform it's ritual for only me

Two wolves
In a cold, dark place, some call it planet earth, two wolves fight endlessly for my soul. And the one I feed the most becomes the alpha host, and owns the day.
It's a choice. One path of freedom, the other foul. Always flames of battle taunt my ancient human soul.
...and the black wolf said, poison dripping from his fangs:
This is a cold, cold place. War and hatered in the air, isn't life unfair? Good people get dirt in their face while the bastards live their best lives. The ritch get ritcher, the poor get poorer, and seems like fortune befriends only the...

The Forty Years' War
Hi!
If we haven’t met in person, we are probably friends online, or maybe you’ve come across my work on ‘The Notes and the Words’ or DUP. I tend to go by Wafflenose or Ellie online. I have decided to be brave, or as brave as it’s possible for a pathologically shy, mild-mannered, socially-phobic English woman to be. I’m going to share a bit about my journey with a lifelong mood disorder, in the hope that somebody might learn something, and that I might develop more understanding of my condition, which still baffles me from time to time.

Finally feeling brave (Part 2 of 3)
I also did some drawings to represent what has happened. I'm very bad at drawing, and indeed all forms of visual representation. I also don't have a perfect memory, so it's not to scale. My first diagram represents the first 32 years of my life. On the x axis, we have time, and on the y axis we have mood. Again, we have some greyness and question marks over the first few years, followed by three dips representing bad patches at 5, 7 and 9 years old. The little zigzag represents the normal ups and downs of childhood, and soon after that, you can see what are supposed to be my annual...

"cure" for the "core" beyond fuel for life's source..people give it labels like thnxgiving
in a world without "mirrors"(manmade reflections of all sorts).... nature's water drawls one nearer; imagine an isolation so deep, that a visit to the source couldn't be less brief....
one doesn't care about one's appearance that much.... just a grab and go-with one's storage day worth water flow.... for some(myself included).... that's the reality....
interaction? i mean-we can speak, but.... isn't less not best-if one values peace? because, what exactly do...

A Healthy Mind, Temple, Promotes A Healthy State Of Existence
About time this medical journal reaches you, may it find the body at its peak performance, the strength of the mind in a serene place, and the heart pulsating to give you the vital essence of life.
We are moving into a new season of winter, just peaking on the horizon. Caution in the elements that could have dire consequences if we do not take care of our immune system, keep it holistically boosted, by eating the right food to sustain our vitality, exercising at least three times a week, for keep our lung oxygenated, and if you are elderly, or immobile due to unforeseeable...
