Sally Schizophrenia

A Poem by terriblerosey

Confessions of a crazy person.

Sally Schizophrenia
Never takes her pills
That is why she may expect
Some bruises, bumps, and chills

Sally Schizophrenia
Walks down the market street
Her spider friends all follow her
Forming a line so neat

Sally Schizophrenia
Opens the butcher’s door
A tall fat pig stands haughtily
In clothes Ol’ Jim once wore

Sally Schizophrenia
Just grabs a leg of pork
Spider Phil says, “No, not that!”
And stabs her with a fork

Sally Schizophrenia
Knows all about her sin
She failed to take her pills again
But knows she can still win

Sally Schizophrenia
Takes the pork and runs
Her family eats a hearty meal
The spider’s grin she shuns

Sally Schizophrenia
Awakes in horrid pain
Face, eyes, throat, arm
External nasal vein

Sally Schizophrenia
Sprints to the dining hall
Passing some old moldy meat
Behind the kitchen wall

Sally Schizophrenia
Lets out a nasty roar
Her family lay within their blood
Dead upon the floor

So if you want to live and thrive
You better take your pill
Or end up like poor Sally S.
And Mr. Spider Phil

Awesome. X3 I loved it. I can only say one bad thing, and I can't even pinpoint that thing myself. The flow just seemed a little off somewhere in there while I was reading. But overall nice piece of poetic prose. I love dark stuff like this.
