A PIP INTO THE RABBIT HOLE


If you have felt sad and thought life is meaningless
If you have felt so down that you wished you died
If you have ever felt time crawl and the pain in your heart never go
Then you have felt what someone who is mentally unwell feels

If you have felt scared
And wished that the ground would open up and swallow you
If you have felt like the whole world is looking at you with gnawing eyes
Like the eyes are eating your flesh a way
You have felt what someone with mental illness feels

If you have felt too happy
Then suddenly too sad for no reason
If you have felt that no one can understand what you are going through
If you have felt the happiness scare you and the sadness cut through you
You have felt what a mentally ill person feels

If you have felt out of your own control
And the desires of your heart are out of your will
You feel too weak against compulsion
That bottle of liquor having more attraction than your strength to resist
You try to keep off but you can’t understand why you can’t walk away
You have certainly felt what a mentally ill person feels

If you have watched a movie and seen the ghosts of the film go with you to bed
If you have had that nightmare that makes you wish never to sleep again
If you have ever seen something so ghastly that you would not get out of your mind as soon as you wish
If you have ever been through something you will never forget
You have felt what someone who is mentally unwell feels

What if it were you whose pains and heart aches would not go
What if it were you who saw ghost of a trauma and they would never leave you
What if it were you who the eyes of the world tore through your skin
What if it were you who never had strength to overcome the games of your mind
Would you laugh?

Yet it always seems so easy to cast a stone
To judge people enduring their pain
To condemn uncontrollable compulsion
Yet this pains could easily last in any of us

Protect the mentally ill
You could possibly be protecting your future self

ALL LIFE TIMES

A million words would not sound you out You inspire this feeling that makes me want to shout Priceless I choose to write Sound my heart unequivocally a cross life and time That it may never be forgotten that I loved And deeply so How I chanced upon you I can't tell But it must have been written in the stars That you will be the healer of my scars That love I will find on a mountain so high That flying would never be easy But splendor that is to die for This is a little loco Somehow it feels like I need your permission to breathe You leave me breathless in a nice way But this breathless is terrifying when you are away Delicate noble one you smashed me, a monster who would not break In the heat of everythig and in the rain of love A zillion flames would not melt me What is hotter than your presence and cuteness What is colder than your absence and silence How would my heart not crack in such a switch What would forge me back if not the enchanting flames of your love  In all worlds I

I WILL UNDERSTAND

I have been through a lot untold Life's heat and cold I have made it to this old From whence I stand So I understand That it is not the making of any hand That you do not and may never understand  me. As much as l look, you I  do not and may never see Like the depth of the sea Blue and blinding deep We remain mysterious like sleep I understand if you never understand Even if the waters wash the story I keep writing to you on time's sand Circumlocuting  in a million ways Verbal monotony becoming the songs of my days I still will understand if you never understand 

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.
