I barely sleep How can I? faces keeps hunting Whenever I close my eyes It's like a movie scene Fairies, ghost, angels and demons Dramas, thrillers, actions, comedies and fantasies They're just one blink away... Tell me how to sleep When a lot of voices entered my head Some tell me to be good Some persuade me to do the other way Even I put my two hands in my ear Still, voices I can hear Rarely I sleep Just a nap thanks to those sleeping pills It helps me show my sleeping skills But I can't have it daily I don't want it to be my habit Maybe you wonder Why schizophrenic amnesia not insomnia I don't know the difference of day and night anymore The scene was so vivid always keeps me awake Awake that sometimes I don't remember how to sleep..

Schizophrenia is a mysterious condition and it not only affects the one who suffers but also people around. Your poem is a dark one expressing the sufferings so well.

Thank you, my friend, for reading this one. I don't know if this piece can be able to be called a poem. This quite a series of pieces and I will share the rest from time to time.

This is but I can say this is really very close to home to me... Some of the feelings behind though the situation is quite far are real feelings from the author's skin...

Maybe a sleeping pill might help!! Sometimes it's also what we eat!! Like cutting out meat!
