A pretty shitty poem but need to get things out somehow.

Synapses snap fingers
Limbs jump and follow
Say I have control
But even that sounds hollow

Nerve ends crackle
Pain signals fizz
Sit back and wonder
How did it come to this

Mind is my enemy
This I always knew
But secretly deep down
I thought I’d get through

Now every muscle,
And sinew feel foreign and strange
Is this all my doing
Or am I completely deranged?

Search for solutions
But have forgotten the map
With no sense of guidance
Looks like there is no way back

Good poem. I hope writing this down has helped you. You’ve inspired me to get back into poetry.

The walls are solid there's no way out
Seperated from all you care about
Isolated, alone shivering scared
If I'd known it was coming I would have prepared.

Dignity is no longer a thing
You just wonder what the next visit will bring
You cry and you shout and pull out your hair
But there's nobody around, nobody who cares.

Finally you are let out of your cell
Which you were put in purely for being unwell
They give you conditions no asking for help
If you struggle then just blame yourself.

Very thought provoking as always. I particularly like the second paragraph. I can feel your pain and fear in it.

I read it aloud too and it sounds good.

*graphic SH trigger*

Just so nobody worries am describing past SH and excuse, I'm okay.

The following content has been hidden - Reason : trigger warning SH
Tell everyone trapped my arm in a blender
Truth doesn't matter, wasn't a life ender
Hold a tea towel for pressure, hide the bleeding
Dead emotions they wake up screaming

Peel back the towel, see the blood congealing
Body's quicker than the mind for healing
Until the day you sail too close to the edge
Cut too deep, walk too close to the ledge

It's hard to see when the line was drawn
Was it life experience or just being born?
Either way seem's now it's the end
Death I say, how are you my friend?

Just - wow.





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

I like all your stuff. You do rhyming well, sometimes rhyming can seem forced but yours really flows.

Tell the truth you say
But I can see in your eyes
What you really want is for me to tell lies

Protect the family from the hurt he caused
It is no one's responsibility except yours
Zip your lip keep it together
Hide your fear no matter the weather

I love my family but it has to come out
See if they still come first no matter how loud I shout
I'm here I matter and he did the crime
So why is the guilt not on him, it has to be mine
