My mental illness is being fabricated: A poem

My mental illness is being fabricated

and I know I am being manipulated

I will now be under life-long prod and probe

to make me vulnerable to whomsoever’s loathe

You can guess, I have, now, added shackles

as if, a lifelong straitjacket, I didn’t tackle

Does the Supreme see that these politicians’

self-serving acts

are meant to get their own fortune on their backs

I am just a very private person

I do not like my space’s intrusion

I know that Thee understands my version

So tell me if I don’t deserve thy compassion

My spiritual awareness is under question

and the indignity of a madhouse, I have to reckon

It is this poison weed that will eat me

It is they who are driving me to insanity

Hi, I am Monte Cyril Rodrigues and live in Melbourne, Australia. I am a retired journalist. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I've had voices and visions all my life. I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
