Shh.
Don't tell.
Shut up.

Sit there.
And don't
Say
Anything.

"Are you okay?"
No.
"I'm fine."

Turn off the light.
On again.
Off.
"What are you doing?"
Breaking.
Dying.
"Nothing."

Stare.
You can't fight the shadows.
They'll kill you if you tell.
Shut up.

Scream.

Rip your hair out.

Cover your eyes.
Uncover them.
Cover them again.

Lock the door.
But look
Now you're trapped.
Unlock it.
Lock it again.

"What's wrong?"
Everything.
"Nothing."

Don't take the medication.
It's poison.
Don't drink the water.
Don't eat your dinner.
Don't sleep.

You
Won't
Survive.

"I don't know you anymore. Who have you become?"
I am a nobody.
I am Schizophrenia.
I am death
Sorrow
Torture.

"... I don't know."
yeahhh.
Comments are loved! :D

I like the consistently short lines.its quite a short lived but hard hitting point that invokes sorrow and near fear. i also like the fact you say you are schizophrenia , not schizophrenic - it adds a nice touch of it being more than a label. Well done
