In the Mind Of Mental Illness
Crying Loudly but its all in my head,
The expression you see is a smile instead,
But If you look deep in my eyes they will tell you a tale,
About how my appearance became so frail.
For the people around me I put on an act,
To hide the truth of control my life lacked.
Inside I am weak, Helpless and cold,
I feel I have no-one to comfort me, no-one to hold.
Pacing up, Down and around my bed,
Trying to clear my head,
But inside my mind where the voices hide
I listened to what they said.
The noises I hear are the voices I fear,
I cannot drown out the sound.
Palms sweating and my heart is racing,
Callapsing to the ground.
Chest tightening...I cannot breathe n vision turning black,
Here again on my own suffering another Panic Attack!

Louise,
Wow this is very good!! Locked up in your mind is a lonely place to be confined and unfortunately so very true of a life for those afflicted with this and other debilitating illnesses such as Depression, PTSD, but fortunate are those who take the time to understand it. Which is the beginning to the end of its eradication or its demise...extremely good depiction of one of the deficiencies I am confronted with on a daily basis at one of my job sites...?
Take Care,

Most of my poetry is written from experience, very heartfelt and when I feel I cant speak I express myself through the written word. Im so pleased you like my work. :)
