Schizophrenia

My fight against schizophrenia

As I travel here today a voice whispers in my ear, "I am the devil, you will falter and fall.
I shall blow you down like a feather because I am the storm."
But as I stand here before you today I say to the devil "I am that storm.
I shall not falter or fall, I do not fear you.
I am the beast, the lion, the roar; you do not scare me.
You can send fire and I shall send water to put you out.
You send a man and i shall send an army to defeat you.
You send a bullet and bombs and I shall send the biggest bullet and bombs you have ever seen.
You throw a stone and I shall throw a rock to pound you.
You bring darkness and I shall bring the light to blind you.
I shall seek you out, you can hide in the darkest of crevices and when I find you I will sing you the sweetest of songs that will drown you.
So Lucifer bring it on, mish-mash you're trash.
Ring ring, end of round one. 1,2,3, you're out for the count.
I am the terminator, the stormtrooper.
One on one I'll take you on.
I shall fight you on the fields and on the beaches, and when we reach that beach I shall draw a line in the sand and I shall stand my ground, the last proud soldier.
I shall not fear you, you will not beat me for I am that last proud soldier."

A August morning

The heat!  I can fry an egg on a path in Turkey  On an August morning.  The warmth of a fire on a cold, bleak day; The feeling as I soak up Vitamin D.  The memory of the bath is soothing.  With a weeping willow all is joy.  I remember the colour of the everlasting sand.  On my finger a snowflake crystallises, Particles of mass shine down upon me.  A dry fire of ash.  Now life begins -  A path of ice is a faultless cover on a pond.  A Polar Bear wanders in starvation.  With a spring in my step I ride the globe of life.

The black bullet

A stream of consciousness  Within a bus divided by colour  An ethical mosiac of segregation The chains on the day of birth  a dirty shelter,hands beg for rice and water  We point to the window of hatred for their race  The Marshall fires the 100m sprint  One majority will win the track at the olympics  The rule of a horror film is dark in judgement  The hip hop rap of the dreadlocks  The dogs are fierce Guns and sirens  Doors are locked for the black are hunted  Red splattered blood drawn on the floor  A bitter injustice  They loot and riot in anger Protest as they march  Dear end to the photographs of the human punishment for the right of freedom

The key

The room is only dark If you never look forward past the emptiness And search for your light.  Within a journey maybe long To dig through the tunnel To reach the door. On that rollercoaster of life; Every small step is a goal. If you look back over your shoulder on the staircase, You've already come a long way. One's box is only limited by the size of the opening at the beginning and the challenge of the invisible walls we build piece by piece. In the flow of time, one's dreams are worth living.
