It's not very nice it seems to me. You're all laughing at my friends and me. The reason I'm living in this place. Judge decreed get out of my face. I go about my drab routine As slow as I can,I can't be seen to act with grace and poise you see As I watch those,who would watch me. They claim I'm crazy,mad as hell. So far my plan is working well. They work, I loaf , they feed me bread. They even stoop to make my bed. Psychotic gets me three a day. A bed and roof and a place to slay. No aggravation from the thugs Living life in the hole I've dug. Needles and pills shocked till I twitch Strapped and tied, prey for the Witch. Brain turns to jelly I just sit and stare. Can't turf me out it's not safe out there. Here safe inside ,looking within. Always hearing that infernal din Moving walls and floating faces . Catatonic , no social graces. Skipping down the road again. Face warmed in the gentle rain . Stepping aside to let them pass by. Looking away,avoiding the eye. [This message has been edited by twinsgd (edited 04-21-2001).] |

This is a good poem on a sad subject. How terrible not to be able to trust one's own mind. Thank you. Joyce |

twinsgd--it's great to see you writing again. I really enjoyed reading this poem; the rhyme scheme works well. I hope to see more from you in the near future. |

Maybe the 'crazies' aren't so crazy after all...maybe the rest of us are. Great writing, Twinsgd. Great to see you again! How are the grandkiddies doing? |
