Sick Minds

Sick Minds

A Poem by ROXANE DORSEY

Sometimes I forget how this mind of
mines works.
The concert on the roof of my
shoulders is concerning.
A concert of depression constantly
orchestrates trouble within the
walls of my head. 
Taking over my life without lesson.
I'm unable to go left nor right.
In my head, it feels like a whirlpool
tossing thinking round n round.
What gathered thoughts left, picked
apart and salvaged, I struggle wit
the norm.  Still complex issues topple
my world yet no one recognize my..... 
cry.
bare feet.
filthy clothes.
cuts.
endless bags.
medication.
but I do remember my appointment
wit the doc for he shall continue
where we left off last session, 
Committing me.

It doesn't mater if they say your sick because you can overcome anything so don't let people define you like that. This is beautiful but sad and relatable.

Honest and realistic thoughts in the words dear Roxanne. You made the reader feel and taste the situation. Madness is a part of the all of us. Thank you dear Poet for sharing the amazing poetry.

love poetry since it has been embedded in my mind deeply way back when I was 4 years old. A very good reader in pre-school. Nursery rhymes tuned me in even deeper. more..
