THE bUrN of A SUn...
There are moments that are so
clear
When I see the sun in your
eyes...
I want to jump up and down
Shout with glee
Call the doctors and nurses
Say...you were wrong...look!!!...
He is here...it is he!!!...
Look at him dazzle
Do you see the sun in his
eyes??
But I have learned not to do
this
I have learned it is lies...
The sun moves swiftly
Replaced by the haze
You point to the flowers, they
stand proud
In your gaze...
They spoke to me last night,
you say
Told me, the world will end
soon
Have you purchased the
tickets???
Manic... Fevered ...Manic...
We must fly to the moon!!!....
I tell you...yes...not to worry
For what else can I do
I smile and I kiss you
Move out of the room...
Your eyes
WILD WILD WILD
With the mania and youth
Your head trapped and snared
In delusions and truth...
I don't tell the doctors about
the sun, after all...
I just add that new sunbeam
To the burn of it all....

Schizophrenia....
The fear is, quite simply...
to misunderstand...

Only someone who is gifted with the pen and who truly knows the course and implications of this dreadful illness, could write such a moving account of it. All mental illness is misunderstood by those who have never had to suffer and, of them all, schizophrenia is the most misunderstood. Amazing work, Marion. Bloody amazing x
Yes...this one is from the heart...thanks for reading love 💕...and for your understanding comment 🤗
