    It's Time to wake up

    Its Time to Wake-Up

    Stop the hating!
    Can’t wait till you get caught.
    “It’s just schizophrenia.”
    No, its not.
    “It’s time to wake up!”
    I don’t want to wake up and listen to these whining bitches, yelling in my head, yapping hounds.
    I don’t want to hear the screams that make my heart leap,
    I have no privacy; they are inside of me.
    Whispers through furnaces, running water of the shower.
    Day after day
    Hour after hour
    Gets worse when the sun goes down
    And I am alone to dwell
    “Are they really real?”
    “Demons?”
    Quick turn the lights on.
    When it comes to the unseen, I am a coward.
    In the quietness of the night, I am over powered by this “nothingness” and I feel defeated by the power of this supernatural mental illness.
    Whispers from cars that pass by, running water of the shower, the fans.
    Day after day
    Hour after hour
    I can’t remember what I was thinking, what did I say?
    What do you mean I was screaming at cars that passed by,
    Screaming in the shower.
    I know its just my imagination.
    I don’t know what happened but why is this room padded.
    You have to wake up.
    I don’t want to wake up, I want to be left in the peace of being dead.
    “Nobody likes you.”
    Ok that’s it I’m getting up; I must not give in to these pieces of shit voices.
    Anytime they want to be real I will be waiting
    I’m not giving up
    might be a cure. Might be a cure.
    God I sure hope so.

    • I love hearing pieces about mental health because it’s really important for us to shine a light on underrepresented communities! You painted the picture of your experience really clearly and I want to commend you for it. It’s wonderful that you found an outlet for your emotions and I encourage you to keep writing!
