Becoming slowly unrecognizable to yourself and others
Feelings and thoughts take
a hold, giving you the shudders
Memories and emotions that seem to flood your heart
Faces and places making it hard to know where to start
Decisions throughout the day, waiting to be made
Resting again in bed where it all just seems to fade
Urges of wanting help yet not knowing what to say
Triggers causing you hurt and pain, so you run away
Eventual admission to hospital, leaving you all shaken
Smiles, humor, character and personality are taken
Going through the phase that left a lesson to teach
Everything you’ve been through appears out of reach
Moments on camera where two of you appear to exist
Social media, once a coping mechanism now missed
Yet somehow the diagnosis isn’t feeling so photogenic
A hint of what it’s like to of been labelled ‘schizophrenic’.
