"The Schizophrenic's Poem"
penn Oct 2015
I'm scared of myself 'cause I hear voices in my head,
Telling me when I'm wrong, saying I should be dead,
The voices question my sanity until even I think I'm crazy
They tell me that I'm all alone, that no one stands by me,
They say I'm unwanted and feed on my fears,
They claim that when I cry no one sees or hears my tears,
That no one cares when I cry,
That no one will miss me when I die
And no one truly loves me even my own wife.
When I'm angry or sad, they whisper in my ear
To eliminate the source of my pain, but I choose not to hear
Because I don't want to hurt anyone, to ****,
So then they tell me I should die, but I live through sheer will,
Hope that one day I'll wake up and the voices will be gone,
But I don't see how - they've been with me so long,
Questioning everything about me 'til I think I'm the worst,
Saying that the worst day in history was the day of my birth
The voices hurt me mentally, emotionally,
Sometimes they even hurt me physically
It's hard to live with them, to share my mind,
To feel like my brain isn't even mine,
To fight them off, to hold them at bay,
To try and be normal, push those voices away
I know I could tell someone, ask for help from them,
But that may prove to be a bit of a problem -
They may lock me up, calling me "crazy",
Tell me that I'm insane, a danger to me,
So I'll keep it inside, keep this secret shut away,
And keep on trying to live my life everyday
'Cause I'm not insane, I know what this is:
The only thing wrong with me is that : I'm schizophrenic that everyone hate.

I first fell in love with your eyes and the way you used them to create me.
I then fell in love with your mouth and your words that just ate me.
It took too long to realize that I am not the way that you see me and writing my own poems would be much more easy.

I lost a great innocence when I understood that I and my mind were not going to be on good terms for the rest of my life. I can’t tell you how tired I am of character-building experiences. But I treasure this part of me; whoever loves me loves me with this in it.

"Life Is What You Make It"
penn Sep 2015
Not it isn't.
I didn't ask for depression.
I did not ask for social anxieties.

If I wasn't born with these things,
My life would be so much ******* easier,
So don't tell me it's my fault.
My life is ****.

There are things that we don't want to happen, but to accept,
Things we don't want to know,
But have to learn,
And people we can't live without,
But have to let go.

Chapped lips
Dark circles
Boring days
Anxious nights
Dangerous habits and thoughts
Slipping back in my mind
How much longer
Do I have to do this?

What you feel,

I am astonished, disappointed, pleased with myself. I am distressed, depressed, rapturous. I am all these things at once, and cannot add up the sum.

One of the risks of being quiet is that the other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation: You’re bored. You’re depressed. You’re shy. You’re stuck up. You’re judgmental. When others can’t read us, they write their own story—not always one we choose or that’s true to who we are.

You can't blame prince charming for not putting an effort to let all of the maidens try on a glass slipper just to find you, when you didn't put on an effort to climb down the attic and confess your love to him.
You can't tell him that it was his fault that you rot sleeping inside your tower, when you shouldn't even been playing with needles in the first place.
You can't hate him because he married ursula when you were the one who rescued him from drowning, just because you could'n step up to own what's yours.
You can't cry over him just because he didn't scream your name so you could let down your hair and let him rescue you, even you should have just cut your hair and tied it down so you could escape all on your own.
You just can't say it's his fault because honey, not every princess could be saved.
And if you just sit there waiting for a rescue, it's either you die waiting or you end up waking up one day, being the evil queen.

"I was born with the devil in me. I could not help the fact that I was a murderer, no more than the poet can help the inspiration to sing — I was born with the 'Evil One' standing as my sponsor beside the bed where I was ushered into the world, and he has been with me since."

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the biggest fool of all?
It must be the boy who can't stop crying?
Or maybe it's the girl who kept on trying...

I don't understand why we must do things in this world, why we must have friends and aspirations, hopes and dreams. Wouldn't it be better to retreat to a faraway corner of the world, where all its noise and complications would be heard no more? Then we could renounce culture and ambitions; we would lose everything and gain nothing; for what is there to be gained from this world?

A forest of silence
In the island of dreams
Where all words are blossoms
And nothing is what seems
Through tunnels of sorrow
And the land of the dead
These won't be the stories
You would read before bed
Hush now, don't weep
Monsters hate sleep
So they watch you instead
They show us true horror
To show us they live
And after all **** us
So others believe
The smell of blood only
Would lure them away
But please don't be fooled
For they'll come back to play
None of them is happy
Or thankful for living
Their nature is evil
Instead of forgiving
Whenever they find you
They give it their all
To scare you, to tease you,
Or try and make you fall
So I'll be there for you
To give you a hand
Allways like your second shadow
If you fall I'll help you stand
I'll never deceive you
The dead tell no lies
But know I am dark
And night is my life
I conclude as I tell you
I really am strange
If you need me, you'll have me
But you'll get in my cage
To watch out in the future
Just pull out your deck
But be quick, for I fear someday
I may bite you on the neck.

— The End —
