"psychiatry" poems
I'm made of all; The books I've ever read Poems I've ever written Faces who have smiled at me Hugs that have wrapped around me Caresses that have graced my inner thigh Countries & continents my feet have touched The lovers as we simultaneously reach ecstasy within Lonely nights shedding tear drops Nights gazing black skies moon & stars Children falling asleep to my heartbeat Animals whose soul was found through reflective eye stares Conversations spoken in French, Spanish, Italian, Xhosa, Afrikaans, Norwegian, German Years of ****** cognitive-, dialectical-, art-, drama-, music-, mindfulness-, trauma-, psychiatry-; therapies The drinks & drugs & mind altering substances dispersing my mind In all I'm made of; Love Lust Greed Fear Joy Freedom Longing Dreams Despair Sadness Anger Frustrations Happiness Anxieties Insecurities.... In all I'm made of; A soul; securely contained within a body of battled scars; over; pain & triumphs, losses & gains, rejections & acceptances, dishonours & accolades... With the hope; she too, can live life through. © Sia Jane

Chapters of Self
I'm a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie World. Life's fantastic: I feel like plastic, aiming for an eighteen-inch waist because I can afford to throw my internal organs away. I feel like plastic, having to choose between eating and breathing with not enough space for two tubes. I feel like plastic, a thirty-nine inch bust and three times the forehead. I feel like plastic, a size nine squeezed to a three, spending three to nine avoiding mealtime because my weight loss book says 'Don't eat.' I'm a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie World. Life's fantastic, but... I'm not plastic. I've sat here listening while you complain about society but I don't think you realize that society is made by you. You complain about masks but you're masked by your poetry and trust me, it's trendy: Psychiatry. A bottle of capsules captures your soul and your dreams, fading reality. I cannot be defined because a definition leaves no room for change and I am a flame, ready to burn the cardboard box of priority you put over me. All the cool kids are lesbians and thespians on about repressions and I care, I do, I mean... I'm standing here among you. But words are just air. You can stand on this stage and tell me I'm beautiful, but I am more than my face so disregard my mild distaste for your inspirational speech. Now, this... This isn't a call for help. This is a call to arms. This is a battle cry because I am sick of waiting for a future that should've happened yesterday. So use this air to live the words you say and rally. Do not soothe, because we've already been cocooned by soothed reality in Shawnee, Johnson County. I'm a real girl, in a real world. Life's fantastic, and I refuse to be plastic, aiming for generic weight range based on content, not scale number. I refuse to be plastic, a neck moulded perfectly for both eating and breathing so I don't have to choose. I refuse to be plastic, a bust that you don't need to be sizing when I've got eyes a green not of romanticized meadows but of drunken puke. I refuse to be plastic, a size nine foot in a size nine shoe, spending three to nine enjoying my meal times, because my weight loss book is chucked down the chute. I'm a living girl in a beautiful world. Life's fantastic, because I'm not plastic.

The vampire really craved him some blood, And thank god; they'd just buried Mrs. Flood: He pried open her casket, And was using his ratchet- But her fluids had turned thick as mud. Two vampires decided to dine On a lady, whose blood was like wine; While pausing to savor It's delicate flavor, One said, the House issue is fine! Vampires sleep days and fly nights, They are known to be fearful of lights, And feeding's quite a trick; It's got a big kick- Though impossible, with bad over-bites. To a vampire, an orgy's a feast On the blood of man, bird or beast; And he's not into zoology Psychiatry or psychology; Doesn't even care, if it's deceased.

Vampire Limericks
I can't stop writing this poetry, Because all I think of is poetry. Phrases repeat temselves spontaniously. Like trains coming continuously Rhyme and metre extravagantly Burst into flames explosively. Twas I who consulted psychiatry. OCD he said repeatedly. OCD I thought repeatedly. Then I broke free From Rhyme and.  Metre And any rules really!!! **** it? Flower Sunshine in the rain Relax bro Be open and throw **** all over the place                     But do it with grace.

Here where prison is a place we call MountJoy A young manboy just released Shoots pool with plastic blue Rosary beads And fresh tattoo And eyes on me Runs his hand along his hard body Says you see it done me good Embraces everyone he meets He knows he’s gonna keep With this discipline He knows that he can be Anything he wants to be Oh yes Anyone he wants to be   Loving father Good Good son Puppy, shark Rolled into one He has a story Lessons learned And a new hard body All hard earned Feels the tides inside him sing The tears , the blood Psychiatry The library Emotions men pretend to hide It all comes out In the world On the inside

Dissociation: noun the disconnection or separation of something from something else or the state of being disconnected. CHEMISTRY the splitting of a molecule into smaller molecules, atoms, or ions, especially by a reversible process. PSYCHIATRY separation of normally related mental processes, resulting in one group functioning independently from the rest, leading in extreme cases to disorders such as multiple personality. Dissociation is not trendy. It’s not just depression or starring into space. It’s so much more It’s crawling away form reality and making a home in your head. Losing contact with your body. Dissociation is not knowing who you are. Dissociation is watching yourself in third person. Dissociation is feeling so scared that you’d rather loose yourself entirely then live in the present. Dissociation is not always multiple personalities but sometimes no personality. It’s losing time. It’s not recognizing those you love. It’s having little to no memory of anything that happened after the fifth grade. its knowing faces but not exactly sure where from. It’s a defense mechanism. It’s writing your name on the back of your hand to not completely lose all of you. 
It’s wearing a rubber band to snap yourself back because you have taught yourself to know when you are losing yourself It’s getting help, because you know in your very few lucid moments that this is not normal.

Dissociation
Hey, i want to speak with honesty, I dont know what i would do without poetry, Feel like i won a lottery, all because of word pottery, a mind free is all, expressing secrets from the soul, With a careful craft of the beat, music is born from the art, Therapy in psychiatry, aesthetic in phylosophy , People love and fight, Some just live to hate, oppositions and dominions, Opinions and religions, But poetry and music lives, lifetimes and lifetimes with love, and nomatter the weather it shall always bring humanity together

Hope is, by definition, a feeling of expectation and desire for something to happen, a feeling of trust Hope carries anchors on it's shoulders, afraid it will only meet the standard of almost We all hope, but we do not all receive Hope is the product of human weakness We long that's why we aspire Imagine how weak man is, we are not like birds that can fly when we want to go to places or we want to see people We are frail and easily inflicted with illnesses We are fragile bottles that easily break physically and emotionally, hence the development of the helmet and airbags The study of human emotion called psychology and psychiatry And worse, we die, that is why men searched for the fountain of youth to no avail Hope helps us to move on and continue Hope is a wish, hope is a motivator Hope gives a reason to keep going Hope is the whisper telling us that it will get better in time But I ask, why do the hands of my clock have arthritis Hope is not a liar Hope is encouraging but hope is also deceiving Hope is joker, a trickster Like an amateur magician, everyone could see the trap door but me Hope will disappoint you Hope is not perfect, hope does not always work out like you think hope should But hope is valuable, hope keeps balance Hope carries the unable, the dreamers, the optimists Hope is the guide Without hope, we're lost Without hope, we're nothing

The Anger within me is boiling The situation seems out of control The fight or flight responses Is as primal as it can be. The amygdala, kicks in And takes over for me. But why blame it on primal Cause religion teaches another Created by the Father Born of free will are we. The choice of being noble Or primal is in my capacity So I decide to test my confusion And see who lives inside of me A person of free will or  A carnal nature of me. So when I encounter situations Which would otherwise anger me I'd like to bellow in rage I'd like to make believe Here my animal is taking over I can feel his grip over me The struggle within me is stronger The ground I'm loosing steadily I laugh! Where are you free will? See whose got me now in his grip And then in the flash of the moment I see the irony! Suddenly as if the scene's changed The reactor becomes the actor Letting go of a long sigh The drama comes to a halt. For in that moment, free will kicked in My freedom I realized Yes we are carnal beings And it's not surprising Because animals behave just as we But we are armed with an arsenal To be infinitesimally good To be heavenly If only we listen to our inner wealth Telling us to above all rise When we give vent to our free will. It's that moment to decide. Anger is worst of the lot of monsters But alone he's usually not. He has a lot of companions His minions are all about. This matter is not simple Don't get bogged down in psychiatry Practice makes one perfect Tackle your fears and threats Handle each one steadily Before long you'll know the signs Arm yourself with humility His minions will try wreak havoc And wound your ability So stop the amygdala from taking over Ask yourself is it worth? What is the worse that could happen if things didn't go your way. The answer will be astonishing When you've discovered your treasure You'll find the demon's flown What a relief it will be You'll feel blessed abundantly

Little Box talks back With a new set of teeth And pink gums A fake nose and a wax mustache She disguises her voice To sound like Groucho • Little Box opens up And cries to her psychiatrist I don’t know why they hate me I’m such a sweetheart I volunteer at the zoo And teach Mandarin To their bratty children • Little Box is not happy to see you So she closes herself up for months Years, decades, and two millennia! She tacks up a sign that says Nirvana • Little Box is undead She sleeps all day in a coffin Hands over chest At night she cruises the mall For juicy victims She prefers type A But AB if she has to What can you say Vampires can’t be choosy She likes your stupid brother • Little Box is on the psychiatry couch Everybody hates me Nobody loves me Little Box lies on her side And spills her guts • What’s in Little Box A perfect orchid A chocolate-covered strawberry A new iPhone With a glittery sleeve Amber earrings from Pushkin Keys to a new Porsche A retro Chanel brooch A Getty scion’s left ear A Czar’s ***** Gifts so rare Please don’t stare • What’s in Little Box Rancid chow mein A sliver of cold pizza Last week’s hummus You’re a starving orphan From East Brooklyn And you’ll eat it • So you want to **** Little Box You want to know her secret She won’t open up She won’t give it up And you are genuinely repelled By her filthy ribbon • You want to DO the Little Box You are a sorry story You big creep Why don’t you get off the couch and find A real girlfriend! • Boss Box White, square, and without a soul! • Please don’t analyze Little Box She’s just cardboard clogging the landfill Her mother Precious Jade Purse Has been regifted

all the **** from your mouth that you thought was inspiring slowly broke me down until my hope was expiring never opened my mouth to come back with inquiries just kept my head down and wrote my thoughts in a diary and you read it, pathetic, invading my privacy called me out for feigning sadness and my ‘bogus’ anxiety cause “im a better dad than mine so shut up and be quiet kid” “you’re lucky im the head of this dysfunctional dynasty” well congratulations dad, you’ve earned notoriety for forcing my respect in the form of compliancy and disbelieving science and the facts of psychiatry so i ran away from home to join the freaks of society where else could i escape from your emotional piracy?

I see the violence, I hear no laughter, It's all faith to capture; I can feel the rapture, Disaster another chapter, Darkness within these walls, a fall, No more buildings too tall. Fire choking the young, It's only just begun. There's no sun, We hear a bomb, Run, Innocent children, Deprived of fun, Shrapnel flying everywhere, Smoky air, Streets are bare, It's all despair, I feel the Animosity, Subconsciously, Knowing I'm dead probably, We do this to our society, Because we have religion and rivalry, Violently, involved yet independently, You walk so silently, Scared of your own shadow frightfully, Tirelessly, With your messed up psychiatry, That’s irony.

Divine Minds Transcend There is so much more than what we see what we fear and choose to perceive what we're told we must believe a place that's hard to conceive a portal to a world beyond belief Since birth, it waits for you and me a world beyond a lucid dream I can tell you where this portal leads it leads to a cure for humanity So step onto the magic train and learn to accept your certain death For life is nothing more then fabricated reality Fate, it seems is not without a sense of irony I finally broke free of the evil me it wasn't church that set me free it wasn't drugs from psychiatry it wasn't money that made me see I had to die from this reality and accept my certain death It's your turn to consider the facts now breathe a bit and try to relax Just one second as I remove the mask then a crack like a whip and a panic attack No slack as you slip into a static bath your vertebrae split you are severed in half You blast away and never look back the math adds up so you have to adapt Half of you is lost and your soul is cracked the other half swirls in the endless black As you float down an uncharted path you finally breakthrough at last All you thought you knew from life is shattered as you step into the looking glass

Step Into The Looking Glass
This town is too small for secrets The sidewalks are adorned with names and dates Of couples whose love dissolved twenty years ago While moss oozes out of the letters. This town is too small for secrets Through windows at night The citizens play out their dollhouse lives And dysfunction is locked away in grandmother’s armoire. This town is too small for secrets Where bars close at seven in the morning and open an hour later And the tenders are purveyors of free psychiatry Who put advice in bowls between stale peanuts And place them on the counter. This town is too small for secrets Every hour the two churches compete for the loudest bells But the protestant one always wins And the Catholics having mass ignore its pleading voice But whisper politely in each other’s ears About the scandalous protestors out on Main. This town is too small for secrets With its coffee shops littered with youth Who deny their wealth through coffee steam And discuss the state of countries they can’t place on a map And slowly leach out in to the frigid rain Back to new cars and million-dollar homes Where daddy pays the bills. This town is too small for secrets The college students drink their scholarships in red plastic cups And scuttle towards their shared flats Collapse in to bed too tired to sleep Stare at the ceiling and wonder why they didn’t transfer Three semesters ago. This town is too small for secrets With its gated communities of retirees Where the homes are manufactured And the walls papered with the smiling faces of clean-cut grandchildren And the rebellious ones packed away From the neighborhood gossip’s prying eyes.

It corrupts you Losing control of soul It hurts you Slowing your growth It maims you Stealing your heart One day people will see Until then I fight Because of one reason It's not me It's not psychiatry It's that there is a way of seeing A way of not seeing And my mortal enemy is The anti-fam So I take war on The war for eternity Corruption or not

**** you society For making people believe That there is a certain way to live and breath Everyone is the same, there is no variety You outcast those for rioting And living their life defiantly What gives you the right to judge me You are not god almighty You are the reason for my anxiety And loss of sobriety And visits to the psychiatry But I stand in protest finally I will no longer sit quietly And let you decide unjustifiably What I should be Your judgment makes people feel insecure Why do you believe that everyone has to be similar Why don't you understand that no one is perfect Why do I have to conform to your culture to earn respect Why is money the only way to achieve success Every person lives just like the next This makes me feel so depressed **** you, I chose to be unique I refuse to live a life that's boring and bleak My life does not need to be critiqued Your approval will not bring relief Happiness is key I will live happy and free

The Trapped Poet
The city's shrouded in smoke today smoke coats my mouth, throat & eyes & I know, I know.        I should be writing in form, in rhyme - villanelles, sonnets, terza rima       some say there's too much free verse, some say, it's like everyone's jumped on the bandwagon        yet the most of the magazines still all want rhyme                  but sometimes this is just the tune                                     your heart sings, a broken smile                                     & the way the images build up                                         waiting to sail like ships in the harbor & besides, should we really be writing in villanelles when we are the Mad & I see now, the best minds of our generation, the gifted, the naked wastrels of the coming apocalypse, talking to lamp posts, screaming of Ginsberg's Moloch & the wrongs they did us, yet not destroyed even as we scream locked behind whitewashed walls in razor-blade glint & halogenic glow of ECT or walk the empty streets at guerilla dawn & dusk, bearing the ample weight of our drugged-up minds like those martyrs of the old Soviet Union & clinging on to memoirs of our stolen, interrupted, spiritual awakening, searching for the redemption of litter in this hobo life,  changing countries like some change bed sheets, others rooted by the invisible chains of familiarity & home, still calling for the road, oh Kerouac, the fallen angels of tomorrow strung out on sweet childhood memories & jazz in starved sunsets, picking themselves up to pick at their scab wounds, spitting at corrupt governments, bitter with alcohol, writing poems of unrequited love to poets far better than us, while Elvis croons in the background & a Baboushka spits sunflower seeds in the Russian town of my ancestors & an open air film plays in black & white & this colorless summer is nearly over & they still haven't lifted their sanctions them with their stone gods of war & psychiatry, always lining up the next undesirables : you could be next, yes you with the rainbow eyes you the believer, you the dreamer of visions Oh pity them, the children of smoke, blind to the vagabond, the poet, the lover lost children always seeking out the same roads the city is shrouded in smoke & I wonder if it's not always been there & if we're living amongst blind men ones that never read poems or else how could all this happen

The city's shrouded in smoke today smoke coats my mouth, throat & eyes & I know, I know.        I should be writing in form, in rhyme - villanelles, sonnets, terza rima       some say there's too much free verse, some say, it's like everyone's jumped on the bandwagon        yet the most of the magazines still all want rhyme                  but sometimes this is just the tune                                     your heart sings, a broken smile                                     & the way the images build up                                         waiting to sail like ships in the harbor & besides, should we really be writing in villanelles when we are the Mad & I see now, the best minds of our generation, the gifted, the naked wastrels of the coming apocalypse, talking to lamp posts, screaming of Ginsberg's Moloch & the wrongs they did us, yet not destroyed even as we scream locked behind whitewashed walls in razor-blade glint & halogenic glow of ECT or walk the empty streets at guerilla dawn & dusk, bearing the ample weight of our drugged-up minds like those martyrs of the old Soviet Union & clinging on to memoirs of our stolen, interrupted, spiritual awakening, searching for the redemption of litter in this hobo life,  changing countries like some change bed sheets, others rooted by the invisible chains of familiarity & home, still calling for the road, oh Kerouac, the fallen angels of tomorrow strung out on sweet childhood memories & jazz in starved sunsets, picking themselves up to pick at their scab wounds, spitting at corrupt governments, bitter with alcohol, writing poems of unrequited love to poets far better than us, while Elvis croons in the background & a Baboushka spits sunflower seeds in the Russian town of my ancestors & an open air film plays in black & white & this colorless summer is nearly over & they still haven't lifted their sanctions them with their stone gods of war & psychiatry, always lining up the next undesirables : you could be next, yes you with the rainbow eyes you the believer, you the dreamer of visions Oh pity them, the children of smoke, blind to the vagabond, the poet, the lover lost children always seeking out the same roads the city is shrouded in smoke & I wonder if it's not always been there & if we're living amongst blind men ones that never read poems or else how could all this happen

*and you shall be content with stirring up the sentimentalities of the old, rather than be content in capturing the imagination of the young.* i only write in my mother tongue when i feel too much oppression, when it’s not worth being reminiscent of the years 1772 through to 1939, only then do i use it, and using it weep. i know of the post-colonial stress disorder in western societies, it’s effective use in psychiatry of these societies to curb any ambition of historical reminiscene, i know of the oppression where man integrating into these societies is told to relinquish his mother tongue, i know of these oppressions: and of eastern european "exotica" - you wouldn’t be fooled to expect tigers and polar bears, palms date trees and icebergs to be so close to england! murzynek bambo wita! kopciuszek magda wita!                                           hanzel und gretyl / bambo i magda! but did you know poland is the host nation of the european bison, and the no. 1 tourist destination of storks?                                                                       oh... polar bears it is.

eastern european "exotica"
She was not like most people, she got caught somewhere in between reality while swallowing substances as a form of psychiatry. She had found herself always stumbling accross her own art you see, even amongst her own world she was lost and misplaced her galaxy's key. She was never exactly listening while breathing in your level of dimension you see, her thoughts wandered much too far off the edge of her galaxy's sea. This place she ended up was consumed by madness, darkness, and imagination. She was always shaking on the floor fighting the feelings of prostration. This woman lived inside of her head you know, all these things she could not explain somehow made her grow. She fought against her own world, how was she supposed to stay sane when the reality around her was swirled? She tried her best by hiding behind the moon and sprinkling her world with fairy dust, still she found herself screaming at the stars to please shake off the feeling of lust. She was cursed with a heart that never ceased to love, voices whispered in the skies of her own galaxy and laughed at her from above. She refused to waste her time believing in actuality, for she was too busy seducing starlight with her sensual sexuality. Her unpredictable personality was either devilish or angelic, she was lost while chasing dragons in this world of hers oh so psychedelic. You would never dare to walk deeper into her thoughts of fantasy and lucid dreaming, your naive infinity could have never established any meaning. You were unimpressed by her actions and resented her always reckless, around the witch's neck laid her luck inside a necklace. She remained in her own nonsense believing mysteries indeed mystical, in the end these mysteries meaning nothing less than egotistical. You never saw beyond the facts of your own perspective, little did you know from her's she was fighting villians just to keep her nature protected.

I woke up today, realizing that if I hadn't gone to psychiatrists, and studied religion, and worked hard for many years at Zen, that I probably would have been one of those guys who gets a gun and shoots a lot of people and then turns it on himself and blows his brains out, because I think that I have lived a hundred lifetimes before this one as a victim of torture and therefore was pushed to the limit, but instead of becoming a suicidal psycho-murderer, I became some sort of love, peace and happiness Bodhisattva, so instead of criticizing Zen and psychiatry, like I usually do, I'm praising them.

i found two things bewildering, alzheimer's attacks the pronoun category, and other forms of it too, but modern psychiatry having abolished asylums for a humane revision of its practice has become a branch of medicine that over-prescribes nouns, and by such over-prescription invents noun jargon, it cut open an ancient greek word, used the prefix (overly) and added a suffix (sufficiently) to make no sense whatsoever, it prescribes neonouns like it prescribes pills that don't work... or if working then in a negative way... anti-psychotics can make you **** yourself in your bed when sleeping, i've been drinking for some time, and my bladder is arnold schwarzenegger, when i used to be on anti-psychotics for no adequate reason (living in a post-colonial society does that to you, you can come from lithuania or poland and be treated like a would-be coloniser to extract the fastest sprinters for a new country, without the "doctors" treating you adequately), so as i said: alzheimer's attacks the pronouns, the iron core of the earth that's an individual thus dislodging all the adequate orientations of categorisations of words... like psychiatry abuses the noun category: schizoid, schizo-affective, plain dumb schizophrenic... bi-polar, uni-polar, plain dumb depressed... psychiatry has long established a monopoly on nouns... i just use their terminology to excavate a new grammatical categorisation of words, from poetry, among nouns adjectives pronouns and conjunctions... you'll find psychiatry nicely suited and booted as a word categorisation: metaphor: all psychiatric diagnostics should be categorised as metaphorical... 'cos they name it... but have no idea as to how to behave behind it: it's not like they say cancer and you're expected to die... you're expected to live in their terminology of treating you for a ******* pay-cheque: you won't even commit a crime, but they'll treat you like a criminal... so long suckers... i mean western europeans, i rather live in (as the americans say) i-raq... and shoot a bunch of you protected by what i see as the final solution you thought was once church v. state... how about segregating democracy (the church) from bureaucracy (the state)... but of course the two are mutually dependent.

and waited an hour while six dead deep we stood and stared. It never used to be this way, I used to get in right away, but now the zombies come and wait, and stay. I want to tell them what they'll find when inhibitions thaw, that once they eat the wizard’s fruit their eyes will see, its what I saw, a paradise in white pill pageantry. I cant go back, its better this way, he’s changed my neuro-chemistry, defied my ****** up ancestry,   The slayer of boredom and mediocrity mastered, I raise a toast to my new idolatry! to the wizard! He who holds the key;  my doctor of psychiatry.
