Clearing The Monsters

You sit upon a broken chair,
Don't you move, you wouldn't dare.
They tell you exactly what to do,
Never know what they'll say to you.

The pills you swallow cannot fight
These monsters who just laugh in delight.
They inhabit the spaces inside your head,
Making the cobwebs into unstable beds.

I sit across the room from you,
You stare not at me, but right on through.
I wave my hand in front of your face,
But it's glazed over with a thick black lace.

I can almost hear them in your mind,
Becoming one with your thoughts, intertwined.
And I narrow my eyes at the little demons,
Who have robbed you of all your feelings.

See, when you went completely insane,
Everyone said you were the one to blame.
But I knew it wasn't you at all,
It was the monsters inside you making the calls.

Thousands of them screaming and fighting,
I know you're sick of all their ruthless biting.
So I move myself right next to your chair,
Because suffering alone is simply not fair.

And I just wait patiently for your head to clear,
My love will drive away all your fear.
I'll give you all my sight and stealth,
Until you smile at me, completely yourself.

I believe in John Lennon because he told me all I need is love, & to me that seems pretty accurate.

The inescapable distortion The creeping, seeping, Reckless insanity Curling round my brain, Twisting my torso into knots It grips my stomach, Squeezes, Leaving me on all fours like a beast Heaving...

Illusion

Hasty personality. Warped misery. Perplexed view of reality. To myself a mystery. Searing into my mind. Lacerated pieces. Psychosis I'm blind. Crumbling releases. Evil voices multiply.

The Queen

She spent 20 years inside, Spent all in her harrowed mind. She closed the door, and let the devil in. All these tears have not been lit.

The Demented

Sunset breaking hopeless dreams, This cold dead mind is full of screams. No end to the battles for this man's mind, The slaughter returns, no hope to find.

Maze

I'm in a maze. A dark, endless maze. Chasing me from behind A fire ablaze. Running Trying to escape. Not sure what I'm looking for, A door agape. Maybe it just ends. Not sure what's outside.

My Mind

I’m fighting hard; I’m trying my best, Trying to find myself apart from the rest. My mind is crazy it’s certainly not a place to be Once you enter the light again you will never see.

Dark Temptress

Its supposed to be the light to which I am attracted, But I just can't help myself being dragged into the blackness. It's attractive, it really messes with my brain.

❤Amazing write

That is amazing, very well done but also very sad. This one could be about dementia also. 😿

Nice flow. Poignant piece💐💐

Very well written. I used to be a psychiatric nurse and this brought back a few sad memories.
