A quick poem about a woman struggling to accept that she suffers from Mental Illness
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **




The darkness seizes my mind and The Chanters begin
To come out from the shadows they hide within.
The Chanters take hold of my soul.
Once again I have lost control.

"Leave me alone," I beg. "go away!"
"You will listen," they hiss. "to what we say!"
I cover my ears to drown out their cries
I will not listen to The Chanters lies

"I am not crazy; this cannot be
I am normal, why can't you see?
You are not real, none of this is true!"
"Then who," The Chanters ask "Are you talking to?"
