Schizophrenic Amnesia

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...
