Condemning they are … make them shut up!
Hair pulling will soon ensue if they don’t
zip their lips and leave me be.
Scratching again … red welts form and ooze
this icky yellow stuff. It hurts … make it stop.
I want to scream at the world and let it feel the
rage that builds up within me! Yet, quietly I
lay within the darkness of my own psyche.
Let me hide away inside my happy place,
but even then they find me. They tear down
my walls that I’ve spent so much time building.
Just go away! Leave me be!
My little happy pills, a rainbow of colours ..
… and flavours to boot. BLECH!
Now, I tell you, the prettiest of them all
is a very deep bluish hue. But I dread
taking it. What’s wrong with being a little
psychotic every now and then …
Makes for good writing! If only I could
flush all these pills, especially the one titled
Geodon.
I wonder what other ailments I shall be diagnosed
with at my next appointment. Yet, I keep saying
the voices won’t shut up. Their condemning nature
is incessant. The names they call me!
There is no one to hold me, but myself.
So, withdrawn I become … I hate the world.
But most of all, I hate myself. I just want
them to stop!!!
I don’t know where I end and the world begins.
Maybe the voices are real, we’ve held conversations
that last for hours on end. Perhaps this isn’t a mental
condition, maybe it is just telepathy and the souls
of others just won’t relent their rampant engagements
of verbal assault.
Just let me be, please?
Is there anyone out there who could
hold me, even if just for a moment …
I’m tired emotionally, of walking this
path alone, condemned by loved ones
and the voices.
I want silence!
Yet, there are times where they are not
here. I’m stable and happy … but then
something triggers all this Hell. Stress,
don’t stress me out. Don’t make me angry,
you wouldn’t like it when I’m angry. I
am just some form of Hulk, just not green?
No, I’m that pretty little blue like my Geodon
pills. But I’m not a happy camper, no I’m not!
I just want to be loved and not condemned.
So please! Make them stop!
Adam
Keep speaking what you feel, and to hell with what everyone thinks,
or says; they could just be venting because they're jealous. :0)
Much love, Evelyn O. Simon.
